House House 1894 Describe the historical significance of the site. Include a discussion of the original and subsequent QI,·mers, and dates and events associated \'{i th the building and the owners. Charles Stillman built the house, according to county records, in 1894. On July 9, 1895, the site was sold to Samuel Stillman (presumably a son). Samuel Stillman's daughter, Elizabeth, who was born in the house circa 1905 and claims that it was built in the 1870's, inherited the house upon her father's death. She and her husband, a Mr. Wheat, lived in the house until i950, when Mr. Wheat died in the living room after being bitten by a rabid dog. At that time the site was sold to millionaire Kenneth White, who was buying up the entire Morningside Heights area. From 1950-60 the house was unoccupied. From 1960 to 1972 the house 1'as Gonsidered the ·Pine Tree Substation" by the local Sheriff's Office because of the prostitution, drug, and, according to neighbors, ·gangster type" activities taking place in the house. The site became so bad through lack of care that in 1972 the County Assessor declared the site derelict. At this time Mr. White had the house and grounds cleaned and repaired. In 1973 the house was rented to Herbert and Jean Larsen, who are the current occupants. Note: When the Morningside Heights area was subdivided, Pine Tree Drive was named after the four huge pine trees that stand in front of this house. - 2- 2.
