Meet the Harvey Houses.

Different eras of the same family and place, preserved in two buildings that tell a connected story.

BUILT 1868

SYLVESTER P. HARVEY HOUSE

The older house is connected with pioneer Sylvester P. Harvey and the early Harvey family farm. It is listed on the local Historic Resources List.

Its future has been discussed in connection with plans that could leave it closed or mothballed rather than restored for public use.

BUILT 1928

GEORGE HARVEY HOUSE

Built by George and Ruby Harvey, the house represents a later chapter in the family's history on the same land. Its address is 3590 Grand Lake Drive in Fremont.

The home has faced a proposal for demolition to make way for pickleball courts, sparking a preservation campaign.

Why consider the two houses together? Preservation advocates are asking that the homes and their shared farm history be evaluated as one connected historic landscape—not simply as unrelated buildings.
