Also, are you sure they called the mansion "Cordova"? ''Lumbering in Northwest Florida and Alabama'' by Mr. Appleyard and staff says the home was called "The Towers". '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' ··· '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' 13:19, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah, I had asked him to confirm the Cordova stuff before I posted it. Maybe it was also called The Towers? I dunno, I'll try to ask him today. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 13:52, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
::From the aforementioned book: ''Unfortunately, <nowiki>[Mary Ellison Baars]</nowiki> died (in 1923) before her plans could mature, and the project was mothballed. However, the family did erect a magnificent mansion in Cordova Park which became one of the showplaces of the period between 1910-1930. Called The Towers, it was later to house all of the Baars' sons and their brides..." '''[[User:Dscosson|dscosson]]''' • '''[[User talk:Dcosson|talk]]''' 14:02, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
