Kathy Overstreet writes: This home was built by Kinchley and Lucy Overstreet for their cook, Katie. The Overstreets built their house, still standing and operating as Kinchley Place, on Singleton Avenue, circa 1895. I don’t know the year Katie’s house was built, but it still stands behind the home of the current owners, Kathy Overstreet and Bob Owers. Kinchley Place has been beautifully restored as a historic inn. I plan on photographing it next time I’m in Sylvania.

Thanks so much for this fascinating history, Kathy! I changed the name to Katie’s House. I wish I knew her last name.
