A House for All Reasons 400 NW 16th

Game Details

Anna & Walter Ramsey bought this home in 1920 and built a large tennis court only to replace it a few years later with one of the city’s first and largest swimming pools.  The Ramseys also had a home movie theater where they watched silent movies before they were released in the movie houses. In 1952 the home was rented to a group of young professional women who dubbed the house “Poverty Palace”and one summer a semi-pro baseball team lived in the home. In 1957 the Carmelite Sisters of Saint Therese bought the house and used it as a novitiate.
