Scope and content
ca. 1936. George Lawler, bulb grower, house and gardens. Distant view taken in 1936 of Mr. and Mrs. Lawler standing in front of home. House was a two-story, Colonial-style home. This is most probably the Lawler estate at Gardenville, near Fife, where Mr. Lawler began his bulb business in 1910. It was described as having green shutters, a red roof and a graceful entrance between two columns. It was located near what is now 54th Avenue East and Fourth Street. The house was ringed by Lombardy poplars and the "Gardenville" moniker was in honor of its flowers. The house was believed to still be in the Fife area in 1992, moved about 300 feet north of its original site. (TNT 04/25/1992 D3)
