715 E Scenic Dr
Built circa1905 on 165 foot frontage.
This elegant home is an eclectic, story-and-a-half brick dwelling with a distinctive clipped-gabled roof form. Dominating the facade are three squat, hip-roofed, bungaloid dormers. It has a Tuscan-columned inset gallery that bows at the central entrance bay, and wraps around three sides of house. It incorporates an earlier house that was evidently similar to that at 729 East Scenic Drive. It has numerous rear ells and attached outbuildings. A beautifully, ornate, wrought-iron fence surrounds the property. Some prior owners or tenants were Alabaman William T. Hardie, J. Thornwell Witherspoon and H.L. Swift, R.H. Hoffsett, Dr. George Byrne, Dr. V.L. Stanfield, Bin Ly formerly of the Blue Rose.
