 The 8,000-square foot house, with a tiled mission revival style roof, was situated to permit views of both the second-growth redwoods and oak woodlands.In 1937, Herman and Mary Elena Phleger (née Macondray) began acquiring this watershed property, that they referred to as “the home place” ultimately assembling an estate of 1,315 acres.Their nearest neighbors were the Roth family, the new owners of Filoli, a mile to the north.
