The Holman house was originally framed on a shoestring budget while builder, Curtis Falbo, raised his family. The project was stalled for 17 years after only the outside of the original small footprint was framed. The home became known in the neighborhood as the “Tyvek house.” Falbo found himself reinvigorated to restart the project and finalized the home years later. He lived in the the basement during the construction and demolition of the small interior. His craftsman home was built from nearly all reclaimed materials. There are many stories that are unique and truly beautiful regarding the woodwork, windows, trim, finish, etc.
