Lore
Along with the beautiful architecture, our neighborhood has stories to tell. Including, Lillian the Librarian, the ghost that walks the back stairs at Butterfield Theater, a house fire that almost destroyed one of the Victorian homes but has now been lovingly restored, a well and cistern discovered when an addition was demolished, and a third floor ball room, just to name a few. There is much more to read about on our historic home tour app.
