Floral Beauty - The Kempf house on Division Street, an architectural gem in Greek revival style, was built in 1854, but its old-fashioned garden goes back only to the 1940s. Before that, the garden area was occupied by a driveway and carriage house, and was overlooked by a livery stable and a hospital. Today the garden is maintained by volunteer Marvin Pettaway and the city's Parks Department -- a colorful collection of roses, peonies, lilacs, bloodroot, delphinium, iris, day lilies, trillium and many annuals.
