NOTES
Additional Information:Dean Rischmueller, general contractor. Wilcox was an agent with Geo. A. Walters & Assoc. Agency.

"The house was constructed in 1965 for general contractor and owner Dean Risch Mueller. When the current owners moved in there were no gardens at all. Over the past 19 years, they have added four gardens in the front, four in the back, and two on the east side of the house.

The garden along the sidewalk (in the front) was originally a hedge. Over the years the bushes died out. Because the area gets wonderful south sun, the owners decided to turn it into a garden that would have as much color as possible from spring to fall."
