231 Bushaway Road, Wayzata, MN, USA
Excerpt from the History of Bushway Road and Its Neighborhood (1858-2009) by Irene Stemmer, of the Wayzata Heritage Preservation Board (HPB) as a means of preserving the history of the Bushaway Road and its neighborhood. 1954: R.D. Thomas, Jr. House – 231 Bushaway Rd. This 1950s rambler was designed by Architect George Freeberg and built by Reuben O. Johnson for Ralph Danforth Thomas, Jr., son of Ralph and Marian Thomas next door, Thomas sold the house in 1978 to the present owners and left behind on a closet shelf, a box containing all the receipts pertaining to the building of his house along with the architect’s blueprints. A delight for the new homeowner and a historian’s dream! The house remains much as it was built although the present owners have replaced the siding and completed extensive landscaping that included stone walls to replace the original railroad ties.
