Montgomery’s most recently acquired landmark features classic tudor style architecture with elements unique to the Montgomery area. Designed by noted architect Guy Chaney Burrough, this house was the most distinguished estate in Montgomery. The horizontal lap-siding, the decorative railings with intricate cut-outs, and the prominent country design add to the distinction of this carefully restored landmark.

The original property comprised more than thirty acres of land, housing a kennel and keeper's quarters, and an outside playhouse for the children. Today, the home is recognized as the site of spectacular light decorations during the traditional winter holiday season.
