Friends of 505 S. County Line Road, a group of philanthropic local women, hosted an exclusive garden party in June to support renovations of the historic and iconic estate which dates back to the early 1900s.

The home was selected by House Beautiful magazine as its “Whole Home Project” for an upcoming feature in the publication.■
