Luther Ross Dean was a very successful businessman and farmer, being the proprietor of a vineyard and also a commercial fruit grower. He built his classic version of Barber’s design no. 33, on top of a gentle slope, set back from the northern side of Main Street. His home was striking from any distance and although the house was lost, it lives on in historic photos like this one that comes to our BLOG, courtesy of the Chautauqua County Historical Society, Westfield, NY.
