Historic Interest |
Circa 1896 home on the National Register of Historic Places. The home was owned and built by one of George Eastman's (of Eastman Kodak) friends and personal lawyer, Edward Harris. Mr. Harris built the house as a wedding gift for his daughter Emily Harris Sloan. They shared the same Architect, Claude Bragdon as well - though it is said that Mr. Bragdon fell out of favor with Eastman - and later moved on to the New York City area. It was there that Claude Bragdon is said to have gotten involved with the theatre industry and invented the colored 'gels' still used in theatrical lighting today. Historic Awards: National Register (Granted), State Register (Granted), Local Register (Granted), National Historical Site (Granted), State Historical Site (Granted) and City Historical Site (Granted). Historic Memberships: National Trust, Local Historical Society and City Historical Society. Historic sites nearby: The George Eastman House (3 blocks), The Stone Tolan House (1 mile), Susan B.
