      Thank you for that info; I would appreciate any updates. My Grandfather Lawrence Kerwin of Kerwin&Kerwin Corp bought the Pullman summer home in est. late 1920’s, early 1930’s. They subdivided the land and sold it. It’s been frustrating to confirm that.
      Again, many thanks. Jim

        Here’s some info I got when posting to the Mansions of the Gilded Age Facebook group, from a user named Albert Lee Elmer:

        “The smaller structure depicted with the main dwelling existed until a few years ago when it was replaced with a larger structure. Pullman ave was the original access road through the estate. The demolition of Fairlawn occurred sometime after 1927 when Harriet Pullman Carolan (builder of the Carolands in Hillsborough CA.) And her sister demolished the Prairie ave house in order to reduce their tax burden. The current house on the property was built in 1939 and a wing from the original house was incorporated into this structure.”

        I’ll update the article in the near future; would like to find some confirmation in newspapers on this and a specific date, if possible, but know it’s an arduous task considering there were numerous “Fairlawns” throughout the country at the time.

        I was told that after Harriet passed away in 1921, her daughters inherited it and in the 30s had it torn down for tax purposes. Florence passed in 1937 so it would have been sometime prior to that. I need to find more information so I can update – thanks for reminding me!
