:Yeah, I had asked him to confirm the Cordova stuff before I posted it. Maybe it was also called The Towers?

::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)
:::There may be some conflation here. I would guess that "the Towers" was the name given to the proposed clubhouse (pictured in [[:Image:CordovaParkClubHouseRendering.jpg|this rendering]], circa 1901), which was planned to go up near the Baars' home but I don't think was ever actually built. <span style="font-family:Georgia, serif; color:#cccccc;">— '''''[[User:Admin|admin]]''''' • '''''[[User_talk:Admin|talk]]''''' </span> 16:15, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
