In 1977, I bought my dream house at 2210 Robinwood Avenue in the Historic Old West End. I first spotted this home when I was a little boy visiting my Grandma Murray, who lived a block away on Virginia Street. This stately, eclectic-style brick and limestone English Tudor home is at the corner of West Bancroft and once was the home of John North Willys, the owner of the Overland Car Company. Today we know it as Jeep. Every time I drove by, I said to myself…someday I will own it.
