Often referred to as "The Castle," this Berry subdivision home was designed by Louis Kamper and built in 1898 for clothing manufacturer Marvin M. Stanton. Mr. Stanton died in 1908 but his family remained living in the house. Based on some research, it appears that the smaller building in the same style was added around 1911, perhaps to house other family members. For 15 years, this was the only house on this block of Parkview. By 1913, there were several other homes on the block.
