Description: Dutch Colonial overlooking the Little Miami River.  Wood shingle exterior, original roof wood shingle.  2 story, 4 bedrooms, 2 baths.  "Screen porch/perennial garden/old world details".
Story1: Previous summer cottage was converted to year 'round home in 1906.  The house was painted off-black when the Jordans bought it in memory of Mary Finch's husband who died in the house -  converted to green ("after a number of re-paintings") by the Jordans. One of the Jordan's house painters was a Fred Huber  who reported he had worked in Austria as a house painter with Adolf Hitler (Schikelgruber - his father's mother's name).  Jordans bought the house in 1943 as they had a defense contract and B gas permit so they could drive to Terrace Park.  The air conditioning was designed for the house by John Jordan. At some time the back stair was converted to a kitchen closet.  The original house burned at some time so we don't really know when this one was built.  (John Jordan).  The Jordan children were Jack, Steve, Tom & Mary Ann.  
Story2: John Jordan was Mayor of Terrace Park 1960-63.
