Rich with light, the house boasts 78 windows framed by 48 doors, each a portal to another story. Originally conceived by developer Charles E. Espey and his bride Olive L. Benton, this home was later transformed in c. 1918 by prominent architect Harvey H. Lochridge, nearly doubling its footprinteach wall, beam, and truss testament to eras layered in time.
