This residence which dates back to 1907 – 1908 was originally thought to have been designed by the architect Alfredo Taylor. Much research by the Norfolk Historical Society shows that the architect was Henry Hornbostel who lived and designed during the same time at least four other houses in Norfolk of which two are located on Laurel Way and two on West side Road.
The 8000 sf house on approx. 3.5 acres is now in need of restoration. The large living room (35’ x 21’) has parquet floors, large fireplace and exquisite paneling from the Japanese Tea Garden exhibit at the 1904 World’s Fair which the owner bought and recreated at this property.
Four bedrooms in the main part of the house, kitchen, entrance hall with fireplace. Billiard room connects to the back part.
3 servants’ room, spa room with swimming pool (not functioning), sauna (not working)
