Shirley and Greg Howard 403 West Second Street
Head Hostesses: Chris Wilcox, Elizabeth Winters, Kathryn Hay

The Howard Home makes a commanding presence on the corner of Broadway and 2nd Street where its 1930’s ranch style architecture stands out from among the older buildings that surround it. It was built as a showpiece of modern style for its age. While the home has been recently renovated, many original features remain throughout and show how “everything old is new again,” as its elegant black and white tile, oak and pine floors and crafted metal hardware are back in vogue today. In the den, floor and ceiling chestnut paneling and the marble fireplace set off a view of the river. Leaded windows, original cabinetry and period chandeliers all add to the charm of this thoroughly modern yet drenched-in-character home.
