More about Monomoy Place
Monomoy Place was built in 1863. Its large frame structure features the segmental arched lintels and projecting bays which were typical of the Italianate style.
Originally the private residence of Dr. Alfred Follett, the house was acquired by John Sutphen Jones in 1896 when he married Follett’s daughter, Sarah Fedelia Follett. It was then that Jones named the house Monomoy Place after a small island off the coast of Cape Cod near Chatham, Mass.
A noted Midwest industrialist, Jones commissioned prominent MIT-educated architect Frank Packard to design the Granville Inn and renovate and expand Bryn Du Mansion. Jones also commissioned acclaimed Scottish-born golf course designer Donald Ross to lay out what is now 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 ######### Golf Club.
