Description: 2 story Traditional, siding (& stone from the river), gable roof (hip in back).  
Story 1: in Miller scrapbook (copy in house notebook) - home of Mrs. Joseph Scallan - Cincinnati Post 8/14/51 - exterior and  interior photos and description - details.  Planned as a summer home but decided to make it year around. Divided stair case is perhaps the most surprising feature -"leads to the balcony running around the spacious living room".  We've been told the Scallans owned this property during  WW I or perhaps they were renting it as a summer home at that time.  
Story 2: This home of Mr. & Mrs. (Elizabeth) Joseph Scallan was on the December 18, 1962 TP Garden Club House Tour, "Noel dans le Parc".  Advance tickets were $1 but $1.25 on the day and the homes were open from 1-4:30, maybe also in the evening as a tear off stub is missing from the ticket.  The Community House on Elm Avenue was open for Decorations and probably Refreshments. 
Story 3: The Sue and Stock Keffer  home was on the 2005 Terrace Park Garden Club/Historical Society's "Generation Renovation House Tour".  Homes were open from 1-4 PM and tickets were $12. 
Story 4:      Elizabeth Wirthlan Scallan died September 20, 1976, aged 96 years.
     Is Robert Andrew Scallan part of this family?  He died 21 October 1989, aged 77 years, buried Woodside Cemetery, Middletown OH. 
Story 5: Judith S. Hake was born 4 August 1934 & died [aged 57 years] 15 April 1992, buried 16 April, 1992 in Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati OH, Vitt Stermer Funeral Home.
