Thank you to Nancy Fisher for providing the following photos of the Leuthold House

A number of infuential people decended on Deer Park from the very beginning. Walter M. Leuthold  owned  Deer Park Pine for 42 years. 

He build the house later owned Ken and Nancy Fisher.

The Leuthold House from the front. Ken and Nancy Fisher moved here in 1962, the same year Robert was born. Brook was born in 1967. The house was very normal, not elegant like the grounds. The Leutholds had it furnished in an elegant manner.  There were drapes in the living room, dining room and master bedroom that were silk with a flannel lining between the silk and regular lining.  The house size was not normal. It had 12 rooms, living room. dining room, sun room, double kitchen, office, 6 bedrooms  and 3 baths.  The sun room had double doors that opened out to a beautiful rose garden.

Back yard with one of the holes of the putt and putt golf course around the property.  There is a sand trap in the foreground.  There were 3 holes-1 in the front yard, 1 in the side yard and 1 in the back yard.

The guest house had a living room, bedroom, kitchen, utility room and bathroom. It had wall to wall carpeting, an electric stove, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, and a washer.  It had a full upstairs, a garage and private driveway. The Fishers put stairs inside the house and finished the attic with 2 new bedrooms.  

 The care taker's house was in the back of the property. There was a small kitchen, living room and bathroom. Leuthold had a gardener who was living in Deer Park when we moved there. 

​​Garage and a 1959 Buick. Ken bought the Buick just before Nancy and he were married in June of 1959. Nancy and Ken's aunt are by the car.

Greenhouse with 2 peacocks. The hen wasn't there, she was setting on a nest of eggs. The neighbor asked them to get rid of the peacocks, because they were roosting in his barn. The Game Farm took them off of their hands. Behind the green house was a large tool shed.   

The stable and paddock for their horses Hunter and Nugget.  Fishers had their horses pasturing in a field on the other side of the creek and discovered later that the field wasn't theirs, but the Mill's.   They pumped water out of the creek to water the lawn.  The house water was city water.  The next year, the neighbor sold them that barn and the 8 acres running behind the property between the creek and Short Road.
