I received an email from a man in Arizona who is seeking answers to a riddle involving local architecture. Here is the text of the email:
Mike,
I was talking with an elderly woman from the Toledo area, who now lives in Arizona. She was telling me about this beautiful old home in the Ottawa Hills area where the Kennedy family had once lived. She described a grand staircase guarded by two Knights in armor, gargoyles on the exterior and an old carriage house. Does this place exist... I thought if it did, someone would have some photos and a story to go along with it. I searched and searched, I came up with zilch. I found your blog on the internet and I thought you would be the one to ask.
So, dear Toledo Talkers, if you have any knowledge of the home or family in question, feel free to chime in.

Local historian Fred Folger might know.
