*In 1915 Philadelphia architect Benjamin D. Price and his wife, Mary, combined two side by side cottages into one home. B.D. Price was a noted church designer, the United Methodist Church on W. Marion Ave. is based on one of his plans. Their son, Max Charles Price, also an architect joined them in 1918. He designed several buildings in the area including the Grunwell House (Villa Bianca) in Solana and the county Stockade on Florida St. Max Price was the first city manager and later served as mayor. The Price House was originally sited at 115 Gilchrist St. It was used as a bed and breakfast inn when it was sold to an investor who planned to demolish it. The new owner was persuaded to donate it to the Historical Society instead of demolishing it. * It was moved to History Park in February 2005.
