The home of Richard and Jean Lamphier

The Lamphier home, which some call the Hobbit House, was built by the owners on the vacant garden lot of the former Candle Light Bed and Breakfast.  Some of the original orange and yellow day lilies, “Natalie’s flowers”, were stored by the fence while construction took place.  Their corner of Spruce and Chippewa appears cozy and quiet behind hedges and stones, but a rainbow of dahlia, echinacea, and lily fill the small front yard with color.  Awards Chair, Pat Jackson

  • Village residents, Richard and Jean Lamphier, reside at 312 Spruce Street.

The Bodywise Garden



Bodywise, Movement and Wellness Center, moved to their new location at Bridge and First Streets one year ago.  The historic cement block house was renovated to a commercial site, and finishing landscape of an otherwise plain corner, bring beauty to the Village and invites clients to exercise and relax.  The landscape designer was Faun’s husband, Eric Rubert of Pinehill Nursery.  Borders of shrubs, grasses, hydrangeas, and splash of flower color circle the building.  Evergreens provide privacy to a grassy yoga garden, and floral urns dot the porch entry.
