An old house on this
site was sold by George W. Trout to Frank B. Caldwell in 1921. Caldwell's
intention was either to remodel the existing house, or build a new one.
Charles E. White Jr, an architect who had worked in Frank Lloyd Wright's
studio, built him a new home in 1921. After Caldwell had to leave Chicago
for business reasons, it was sold to Mary Fahrney, who occupied it with her son
Ezra P. Fahrney. Mrs. Fahrney purchased the house to be closer to her
family, she was the mother of Mrs. Peter Beachy, who resided at
238 Forest, and grandmother of Mrs. J. Lyle Vette,
who lived at 308 Forest. Mrs. Fahrney died in
1926. |
