Photo 8-BNE-26

Comments

This is Sunny Crest. The house was designed by Kentland architect Fred Friedline for Josiah Lowes and Stella Shonkwiler Portteus. It features a great room consisting of a living room and library separated by a colonnade, the walls of which contain hand-painted murals, done by the artisanal Diedam family.

This was my great grandparents home. I have only vague memories as Stella Portteus died when I was about 5. Thank you Brian for allowing me to revisit it recently
