Oliver's House was originally conceived as a solution for a single mother and her two daughters. It was thought that she would live downstairs and each of the girls would have their own room upstairs. Though that plan fell through, the idea of the house stuck with the property. The "L"-shaped home was not only common on Chicken Hill; it was a prevalent Victorian shape throughout the country. While not seen on Chicken Hill before, it was also not uncommon to have a tower on the inside of the bend to serve as an entry way. Don't get the wrong idea, the tower is not just for show; located in the top of it is a whole house fan to draw the hot summer air out in the evenings. In addition to creating the primary entrance point, it is also the point from which the structure emanates with the two large beams for the upstairs space intersecting in its center. If children could buy homes, Oliver's house would have sold two dozen times already. Let the child in you dream your home!
