Note:

Stillwell invested heavily in the booming real estate economy of Hendersonville, including purchasing this lot in 1920, where he built this substantial Norman Revival stone house as his own residence in 1925. The real estate boom crash in 1926 cost him heavily and was followed by the Great Depression; Stillwell had to sell the house in 1931.
