The Tom Ferris House

The Tom Ferris home is located in old Highland Park and was designed and built by renowned architect Hal Thomson in 1922. Thomson turned to swiss master carver Peter Mansbendel to create the ornate carved millwork and niche doors. Featured in Architectural Digest magazine, this stately mansion is built in an L-shaped design, allowing the first floors rooms to open up to the rear terrace and garden.
