Interesting historical context: The home, named Edgewood, was built in 1941 (in the middle of World War II) and was very ahead of its time. The architects designed the hot water (boiler) heating system that is still in use today. Hamilton and Graham of Muncie was the name of the architect firm who designed this home. They were instrumental in founding the well-regarded architecture school at Ball State University. The man who built the house was E H Gilcrest, who started out as the sales manager for Westcott Automobile, made in Richmond. Mr. Westcott ended up marrying Mr. Gilcrest’s sister, and they moved to Springfield, Ohio and hired Frank Lloyd Wright to design their house, the Westcott House , which you can tour to this day. Mr. Gilcrest ended up being a successful car dealership owner in Richmond, which probably accounts for all the outbuildings, since he also had a little racing team. The racetrack used to be on the west side of Richmond where Bomgaars farm supply store (2100 W National Road, Richmond, IN 47374) is now located. One of the bedrooms was originally two maids’ rooms, later converted into one room and used as a home office by Mr. John Harlan, the second owner of the home. One of Mr. Harlan’s sons and his lovely wife live a few doors down on Edgewood Drive. The school bell on the roof of the summer kitchen came from the schoolhouse that originally stood at 2269 Minneman Rd, where a home is now located that the third owners (Jerry and Ladonna Jenson) of this home lived in prior to purchasing it from the Mr. Harlan. One of Jerry and Ladonna’s daughters and her family also still live in the neighborhood. Our neighbor will meet your group to share a short walk-through of the property.
