| Description: | 4 bedroom brick and stone French Norman country manor with pool, gazebo and patio. |
| Story 1: | Cecil Duell helped design the house. He was a stone carver and added his stone carving to the house: crests, corner quoins and arched lintels. The eagle in back was done for a downtown bank and then not used there. He had his stone carving studio in the 2nd floor loft and moved stones there from his truck in the garage with a pulley system, still visible in the present family room, his garage (in 2000 the family room has a bedroom above it where the original pulley system ran). |
| Story 2: | This home was on the 2000 Garden Club Home Tour. |
