Gene May, Villamays Builder/Developer struck a deal with Bill Vosbeck in the mid 1950s. Gene afforded Bill his choice of lot; in return, Bill would prepare the site plan and lay out of the lots. If a renowned landscape architect chose this lot to build his family home, it must have been the very best Villamay had to offer.
As Mr. Vosbeck shared with the current owner in 2011 - This is a classic. I should have never moved.
