Mrs. Ryan purchased the home around 1938, and converted second floor rooms for boarding house accomodations. In the early 1960's Mrs. Ryan then converted the rooms into an apartment dwelling. Finally in April of 1995, she put the house on the market.

      I was able to purchase the home and restore it to its originial lustre. After six months of restoration the house began to take on a new version of it's former elegance as I sought to embellish the property. Upon completion of this elegant estate I named it Dian-Lee.

       Remnants of life-past are obvious when one sees the wall buttons for calling servants, some of whom lived in the back cottage and helped in the upkeep.They served meals in the large dining salon, filled the oversized tubs, or polished the wavy glass panes on the massive French doors and kept the gas lights twinkling.

        The history of Dian-Lee is still very alive today.  You will feel the years of heritage upon your first step through the door. Contact us today to return to the wonders of yesteryear.
