Description

Neff House on Forst George Island. The Neff House was constructed in 1927-1932 by Mellon Greely in a Tudor Revival style on Mount Cornelia (the highest point on Forst George Island). Construction began for Chicago business man Nettleton Neff, but he died prior to its completion. The property was sold to Kenneth Merrill in 1939, whose family occupied the house until the 1960s. This photo is taken from the Northeast side of the building. More information: Vertical Files: Fort George Island: Neff House
