| Description: | |
| Story 1: | On a descriptive page concerning 505 Miami it states the house was built in 1910. It may have been built as early as 1905 since R. Paul Scudder bought from Gustav A. Worz in 1903 & 1904. (See pictures of the Dr. Paul Scudder house in 1911 and 1913.) He sold it to Oscar J. Coldeway in September 1913, the month after the picture was taken. Coldeway sold to Joseph Garetson in August 1920. It was originally a 1 story house. We don't know when the 2nd story was added. |
| Story 2: | Originally built as a one story house but not by Joe Garretson Sr. who was a Cincinnati Enquirer columnist. Stones from the Little Miami were used in the front garden wall and in the fireplace. English gardens once surrounded the house and a terraced lawn was on the river side. |
| Story 3: | ? P. Garretson listed this as his address when he signed the Initiative Petition for Terrace Park Recreation Club in July 1940. |
| Story 4 | Owner Walter H. Daw was Mayor of Terrace Park 1952-55. Rumor has it that people used to come from far and wide to buy eggs at the "Rooster House". |
| Story 5: | This home was on the 1992 TP Garden Club House Tour (An Historic Walk Through Terrace Park). |
| Story 6: | According to Bill Hogan in the 1920s or early 30s this house was lived in by Kathleen Jones, sister of Mary Finch, next door at 505 Miami. Was it a one story house at the time? (Yes) |
| Story 7: | There was a fire in the house in 2008 after which the Trollers had to move next door (501 Miami) until repairs were made. |
