Historical Information:

This residence, originally called "Home Place," was built around 1875. It was once owned by Nancy Legendre, the daughter of a German baroness, and Mr. Newbold, publisher of The Washington Evening Star. There are four fireplaces, one up and three down and four bedrooms. The original heart-of-pine floors are in excellent condition and enhance the historic character of this home.
