Designed by renown local early 20th century architect Milton M. Bean (he also built the first car in Lansdale) as a "summer cottage in the woods" and built in 1923. The house comes with the original blueprint and work order/materials needed to build the cottage. The location was chosen because it allowed you to come up from the city and be able to walk to town to shop, to catch the train and walk to the recreational Edgewater Park (White's Road Park) with the large pond for boating, swimming, picnics and music and everything else Lansdale had to offer. It was the perfect location. The very private backyard is great for relaxing and features edible landscaping and creates a very natural private setting like that original "summer cottage in the woods". Take a stroll in the backyard yard and you will find an assortment of fruits, vegetables, herbs to pick. The pollinator garden attracts lots of butterflies, docile honey and bumble bees and many species of birds. A family of cardinals are permanent residents.
Here is the list of what is growing in the backyard suburban farm and when to pick. Apples - Pink Lady, Liberty (October),,Berries - Blueberries, Red Currants, Black Currants, Blackberries, Strawberries, Natal Beach Plums ( June -August), Grapes - Green, Concord (August), Asparagus (May), Fig Trees - Brown Turkey, Celeste (August-September), Perennial Herb Garden- Two types of Oregano, Chives, Thyme, Rosemary, Variegated Sage, Marjoram, Winter Savory, non-perennial Basil, Pineapple Sage May, Borage and Fennel- (October),Hops - Columbia (August), Lavender (June-July),Other Perennial Herbs - Lemon Balm, Peppermint, Catnip, Southernwood (May-October), Perennial Pollinator Garden that attracts butterflies, honey bees, bumble bees and birds (July-November), Wild Flowers (April-November)
