We'll be having a house tour and a talk about the restoration efforts currently going on. This event is FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC so bring your friends!

The current home of Stephanie Edens in Historic Edgemont is known and described in the National Register of Historic Places as the Jones House, circa 1920, and is “a composite of the Neoclassical Revival and Mediterranean styles. Standing on a spacious lot, this large, elegant dwelling features stuccoed walls, bracketed eaves, and bands of casement windows….The double entrance door has a classical surround. A one-story hipped porch with paired and tripled Doric columns shelters the facade. On the right side is an original one-story sunroom wing with Doric pilasters.” The contributing and contemporaneous garage is a “one-story, flat-roofed building with stuccoed walls and one-over-one sash windows…. Millard Jones, a cashier with Planters National Bank, was the occupant in 1925.”

​

This event is free and open to the public.

Sincerely,

Your Friends at PRM
