CD Ray House (404 College Street)

CD Ray House - Clearly the most dramatic example of a Classical Revival home in Oxford and perhaps the most photographed home in Oxford. It was built in 1911 by Mr. Ray who was in the lumber business. The original front of the home did not include the massive classical pillars and expansive front porch, and upon entry to the foyer you are actually on the original front proch of the home. There appears to be a very young "spirit" that remains in the home and who is entertained by frequently moving items around on the occupants. There are also bricks that were handmade for the home that actually have small handprints still in them. We wonder if in fact that is the child who is still mischeifly playing around her home.
