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.
