Tullymorc
A Seat of Serenity
on an
Edgeworth Hillside
By Joe Smith
Bobbi and Hal Bonnett relax in the

Intricately carved moldings and

mantel in the room.
Passing between two rusticated
stone gate piers at the corner of
Woodland and Way Hollow roads, the
gravel driveway that winds up an
Edgeworth hillside to Tullymore leads
not so much to a house as it does to a
period in history, and the carved
cornerstone by the front door tells the
date: 1912.

Maurice Trimble in the Georgian style
with subtle details of Tudor influence,
standing three-stories high and built of
dark red brick and stone over a steel I-
beam framework, Tullymore is part of
the apogee of American residential
architecture.
When the house was constructed, the
United States was technically still in
its horse-and-carriage days, for Henry
Ford's mass-production of the Model-T
automobile was not to come until two

leadership of the world had been
militarily established under President
Theodore Roosevelt, and the country's
industry and economy prospered under
President William Taft, as a wealthy
nation concerned itself more with
industrial growth than with world
affairs: World Wars and income taxes
were yet to be heard of. When John and
Elizabeth Young Oliver moved into
Tullymore, their new summer home,
the United States was enjoying a well-
