    People there will tell you the whole story. Every furniture and every room has a beautiful story to tell. Plants outside are inusual and unique
  • By American Girl
    Charles F. Lummis was an author, activist and historian who, after dropping out of Harvard in 1884, decided to walk from Cincinnati to Los Angeles. An amazing house built rock by rock by an amazing man. I loved the interior. The niches, the wood work, the carvings. This house has so much spirit and personality. A must see!
