★☆ a story of the home ☆★
the extraordinary england house, built in 1902 by the master stone cutter william england and barbara michelbach-england, has been carefully preserved for your family to enjoy The stunning red-and-white stone, locally quarried and hand-cut, showcases the intricate craftsmanship of the time. The home's unique design is a testament to the skill and vision of its creators.
barbara michelbach-england, a nurse and a dedicated member of several societies, played a significant role in shaping the home's history She lived in the house for over 30 years, pouring her heart into making it a true family sanctuary. Following the tragic death of her husband from strychnine poisoning—which led to her being falsely accused of his murder—Barbara was acquitted after a mere 20 minutes of deliberation. Despite the hardships, Barbara's resilience saw her cousin, Steve Eck, step in to complete the home with her.
steve eck himself contributed greatly to the rich architectural heritage of the area Among his notable works are the Church of the Nativity, one of Northern Arizona's most famous landmarks, the Harold Colton house, the Museum of Northern Arizona, and numerous structures on the Northern Arizona University campus. This remarkable lineage and the home's fascinating history make England House a truly special place for creating new memories.
