Built by Tudor Rommerdal as a winter resort for Chicago shoe manufacturer C. W. Lapham, this house was sold in 1905 to the James G. Patterson family, who lived here until 1970. After being operated by the state for many years, it’s now in the able hands of the Thomas County Historical Society. It’s available for rentals and tours.

The description says it’s available for tours or rental. Can you stay in this house?
No
Lovely home. I always loved the tours and the history. Wish I could buy it but I know it’s not for sale.
My hometown. Grew up with these and more!
Beautiful house, went on a field trip as a child and got the tour. Have never forgotten it.
Did you receive my comment?
I did receive it, just now, and this house is not or will not be for sale. It’s publicly owned as a house museum.
I want to see it to possibly purchase?

This one’s a beauty. Glad to hear it’s out of danger for the time being.
