Mr. Wray built this structure in 1894 and
lived here with his family until 1907. Next residents were Clarence
and Josephine L. Carpenter from Detroit. Josephine, a sister of
Julie Lewis McMillan Penrose, donated the home and grounds to
the Fine Arts Center when she moved to California in the 1930s.
Prominent members of Grace Episcopal, the Carpenters donated the
reredos which still today is a major part of the beauty of this
church. FAC is planning to replace this historic building with
forty parking spaces.
