  2. Sadly, I don't think there's as many pictures of the plae as we'd like. The pool was in Ruth's playhouse which was torn down long ago.

  3. Hamilton died at age 61 at this home distraught over the death of his 18 year old son who died of a heart attack after swimming across a lake. Another daughter, Alice died at 16 from scarlet fever. Despite their wealth, in those days, there wasn't much that could be done about childhood diseases. Ruth died 2 years after her mother at age 70 also from a heart attack. She had been in charge of the houses. With her passing in 1955 the estate was sold.

  6. Too bad all the shutters were removed at some time although I'm sure they'd be a big maintenance headache.

  8. Funny that Anna Dodge weatherd the depression and did just fine living to the ripe old age of 103, enjoying her home for every minute of it. She died in 1970. Her home eventually succumbed to the wrecking hall, but not until long after her death.

  9. Not mentioned here is Anna Thompson Dodge lived to the ripe old age of 103 giving her plenty of time to enjoy her home which she didn't complete until in her 60s.
