Note:

Built for Ella Weil in Stephen’s favored Prairie style, the substantial 10-room residence was dwarfed by the Holt-Wise and Emerson-Kenan Houses built on either side of it in 1908 and 1909. Ella Weil was a close friend of Mary Bridgers, the developer of the Carolina Heights suburb. The Weil House was demolished in the 1970s.
