Built for John Saam in 1904, this prominent businessman offered either this house or NSP stock to his daughter as a wedding gift. Choosing the house, Martha and Ed Beste raised two daughters there.
Double French glass doors lead into two bedrooms. The master bedroom has a huge walk-in closet and fireplace. The main staircase was reopened and restored. Three gas fireplaces were added to the house. A built-in buffet was relocated from the upper apartment to the main dining room. Original woodwork, which included a column archway, was found in the attic wrapped in newspaper and reinstalled into the home. The hardwood floors were refinished and back staircase was opened up. The kitchen is completely remodeled.
