| Description: |
| Story 1: | At least by 1913 this became the LeBlond summer home with property extending down the block and with an outdoor dance floor on the south side of the house. Friends came out from the city to swim in the river and to attend gala outdoor parties. Kindergarten classes were once held in the present garage (Ann and Peggy Gatch attended). River stone fireplace, beamed living room ceiling and screen porch. |
| Story 2: | Miller scrapbooks (copy in house notebook) - 11/10/1956 - home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Dowd. Article by Polly Cramer with interior photos. "Middle aged white frame house was the summer home of a Cincinnati industrialist back in the days when Terrace Park was a riverside resort.. |
| Story 3: | We've been told it was the summer clubhouse of the "Cincinnati Woman's Club". This may or may not be true. However, in 1921 owner Richard LeBlond sold it to the Cincinnati Business Woman Club. They owned it until 1924. |
| Story 4: | Re owner 2 to owner 3: Real estate clipping says "Acquired by Walter and Julia Vail from Roma B. Flint". Description at the time reads, "Frame four-bedroom-and-two-bath dwelling... lot measurement is 150 by 300 feet." Sale by Robert Flandreau, an associate of the Robert J. Kramer Realty Co. Picture attached. (Roma B. Flint & Albert D. Flint listed this address as their residence in July 1940 when they signed the Initiative Petition for TP Recreation Club.) |
| Story 5: | This home was on the 1992 TP Garden Club House Tour (An Historic Walk Through Terrace Park). |
