Blueprints for the House by the Road

Subject

Built in 1919 by J.S. Shingler for his son Robert Royal Shingler, the Dennis & Dennis home became a wedding gift when Robert married his distant cousin, Lillian Hughes. In 1926, Lillian transformed the home into a hospitality suite with lodgings and a restaurant for travelers who frequented what would eventually become a new National Highway three years later in 1929. What began as a private residence soon evolved into a renowned tourist home, first opening its doors to paying guests in the fall of 1926.
