Lee built a home at the mouth of Paria
Creek. The building in the forefront was the forge shop with the
house in the rear. |

The Lee residence -Started in 1872- the porch
and upper level was added much later. if you think it looks like the whole
house might fit inside your living room, you might be right. |
 |
A long stone house added to the property after
the turn of the century with an even later frame addition. At one
time it was the site of a dude ranch, which failed. |
