National Register of Historic Places - Emily Rockwell Love House

Statement of Significance: Mary Rockwell Hook planned this home for her youngest sister in 1915, at the time of her sister's marriage to John Byers Love. Originally the house was planned as a $5,000 frame structure. When excavation for the house began, so much stone was encountered that it was decided to construct the house from the stone quarried on the site. The residence typifies Mrs. Hook's mature style, with its European elements (such as a Spanish-inspired fireplace), its hillside construction, and a floor plan that readily moves up and down three levels and from interior to exterior space. In 1922 the house was sold for $40,000 to Gerald Parker, Vice-President of the Commerce Trust Company. Parker enlarged the dining room and terrace and added a two-car garage.
