Text-to-speech Audio
The house built by William Cromer around 1860. Gradually, the house and the property, which amount to over 200 acres, were acquired by the Cromer's neighbors, the Lucas family. The National Register nomination form states that the "Hogan family" visited the house between 1929-1936 and were born there. No other information appears to be available about the Hogan family or about what happened, if anything, after 1936.
