The House That John Built...the best till last

This is the third and final home that John Walter built. This one dates back to 1901. As you can see there is quite a difference between this one and the two previous houses he built
Not only was he married but now they had a family and his businesses were doing quite well so they could enjoy more of the finer things of that day

[Allison Williams]

Loved your series of historic houses. They tell the story well of a man of determination and accomplishment.

[Sandi]

He really was a very talented home builder. This must have been a wonderful family home! Wonderful angle taken in photographing this very handsome home.
