Designed & built by architect/developer Wally Caldwell for Mr. and Mrs. George Strong.

They had the means to commission the finest build in the day, w/materials that last generations! This home has repeatedly been solicited to join the historic home register. It has remained intact & caringly preserved by only 3 families over the last 93 years. A 4 bedroom & office loft, 4.5 baths estate!
