In researching the home he found that in fact the Biddulph <br />murder-suicide took place in the Butternut Ridge home. George's son Fred and wife Clara <br />mortgaged the home in 1925 with the Olmsted bank for $1,700.00 and it is thought to have been <br />done to build Springvale Golf Course and Ballroom. Commissioners discussed how well written <br />and detailed the report was and how to compile the final draft. Ms. Wenger reviewed that once <br />the report is completed the commission would need to submit the report to the Planning and <br />Design Commission who would review and make recommendations to City Council. <br />Butternut Historic District Survey <br />Ms. Wenger said Thursday, July 7 was the deadline for proposals and four were received. Each <br />of the firms is well qualified and she will be setting a committee meeting to review the proposals <br />and make a recommendation to the commission.
