This Place Matters is a monthly series on the historic homes of Campbell by Susan Blake, a member of Campbell's Historic Preservation Board. Join us on a virtual tour of Campbell's historic homes. Each month, we'll feature a different house that reveals an interesting slice of the Orchard City's character and history.
This month's This Place Matters house is the "Arnott House" on Alice Ave that was the home of a local lumber yard owner that was constructed after a fire destroyed the original home in 1917.
This month’s featured Landmark home is the Lucy C. Bull House. During some recent renovations, some hidden surprises connecting the house to its past were discovered.
The first landmark home of 2020 is one many of you should recognize immediately. It's the Gilman house at 151 N. First St and it might just be haunted... maybe.
The seventh featured Landmark home is the Louis and Edward Genasci House at 207 N. Central Ave. It is located in one of the earliest sections of the original Benjamin Campbell family land holdings.
This month's featured house was one of the Ainsley family's homes! It was the second house of the Ainsley family and they lived in this house until the house we all know as THE Ainsley House was completed. Learn more about this classic Queen Anne Victorian Style home that has a place in Campbell history.
The next featured home of historic importance in Campbell is the Spanish Colonial Revival styled E.R. Kennedy House. Susan Blake of the Campbell Historic Preservation Board will give you a virtual tour of its features and share stories about its history and past owners.
Continuing with the Historic Preservation Board’s Celebration of featured Campbell Landmark homes is the Littleton-Martin House at 1690 Littleton Place.
