Mystery photo number six

July 7, 2012 by Dave Knadler

It was considered big then. By today’s standards, maybe not so much.

This 13,000-square-foot Norman-style home was designed by architect Kirtland Cutter at the tail end of the Gilded Age. The man who had it built was a cofounder of the city in which it stands. Today the city runs it as a museum. Can you name the city?

For the three-point bonus, name the city park just down the hill from the big house.

About Dave Knadler

Obscure writer. Lazy photographer. Bashful guitarist. Perhaps too fond of wine. Tireless nemesis of New York Times crosswords.

      Deb gets one point, for a total of 10.

    I’m going to take a guess at Woodland Park also–

      I’m tempted to award three points here, since Woodland Park is indeed just down the hill. But Heritage Park is closest. And also down the hill.

        I can see that Heritage is closer—–better luck next time.

    Oh, oh… I don’t know where it is, but you raise such a good point with how the average American house size has grown. I was just reading about this. The average home size now is some 2400 square feet, while in the 1970’s it was around 1600.

      Yeah, I’ve seen a lot of private homes that make this one look like a servants’ cottage. The last couple of decades will someday seem a gilded age to our descendants.

        TRUTH!

    I’m going with Heritage Park for the 3-pointer.

    • Dave Knadler says

      July 7, 2012 at 6:55 pm

      John gets three points, for a total of six.

  5. Mark A says

    In the event that the three-pointer is still available, I’ll make a guess: Day Bridge Park.

    It’s the Conrad Mansion in Kalispell.

    • Dave Knadler says

      July 7, 2012 at 6:56 pm

      Indeed it is. And it sure looks a lot better than it did in the 1970s.

      • Trishc says

        July 7, 2012 at 11:42 pm

        I think the name of the park is Woodland Park. Unless the name has changed in my absence.

        • Trishc says

          July 8, 2012 at 12:18 am

          Oops. I didn’t see Deb’s earlier guess at Woodland. I am remiss.

    I decided to go for the more obscure, and closer, Heritage Park.
