The bell hung over the den fireplace until 1999 and is now on display at Carillon Park. The Iris in the front landscape were hybridized by Horace and named "Starchy Sue" after his Bride, Susan & they bloom Spring & Fall. They remain where he planted them. The hillside is adorned with "gifts" from the Wright's each year with daffodils, snow drops, winter aconite & Resurrection Lilies, among other beauties. The grounds are truly stunning in every season. The Sellers are Realtors & the Listing Agents. Please contact your Realtor soon and enjoy your tour of this unique offering.
