This large, classic colonial stone house was built in 1930 in Bingham Farms, a tiny area of fine houses on big lots, winding streets and woods. It stands on more than four acres with a fountain, two gazebos, a bridge, a second small house and a showplace colonial-style garden, built to mimic Mt. Vernon.

It comes with a heck of a pedigree. The man who built it was industrialist George Kennedy, a golfing friend of Henry Ford and head of auto supplier Kelsey-Hayes.

Kennedy hired that eras esteemed residential architect Wallace Frost to design his home, now listed at $2,975,000. But before it was done, he quarreled with Frost, fired him and hired Albert Kahn.

Although the house is pushing 85, its on only its second owner. Kennedy stayed till he was 90. Then 37 years ago, he sold it to Carole and John OGurek.

But Kennedy didnt let go easily, Carole OGurek said. A strong-willed man even at 90, hed drop in to visit the family, usually on slim notice. Hed pull up with his chauffeur. Hed march in and look around, she said. Hed note their changes and tell them which ones he didnt like.

Carole OGurek and her late husband were history buffs who had toured most of the founding fathers homes. From those visits, she said, We recognized how well this architecture copied that 18th-Century design.

That includes the deep colonial woodwork, the wainscoting, the set-back mullioned windows, the heavily trimmed front entrance.

When you enter there, you are in a large foyer that includes a graceful curving staircase. To one side is a walnut-paneled sitting room, to the other side a 20-by-40-foot living room that runs from the front of the house to the back. The owners bedroom is directly above it and the same size.

The OGureks enlarged the original kitchen, which had been a beat-up little place used only by staff. From the kitchen, a second smaller staircase leads up to three bedrooms and a bath over the garage, also meant for staff. Carole OGurek, a tutor, made that into a place to meet students.

They added a three-season sun room off the living room that combines stone structure with three sides of screens and storms. When I sit out there, I can hear my fountain, she said.

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is now accepting reservations for the gazebos and shelter facilities at the five parks near Black Canyon Dam in advance of its summer season from May 19 to Sept. 1.

We are thinking ahead to warm summer days and getting ready to assist people who want to reserve the park facilities, supervisory park ranger Doug Goff said. Anyone who would like to reserve the gazebos in advance is invited to contact us for help.

Instructions for reserving a gazebo can be accessed online by visiting the parks website at usbr. gov/pn/blackcanyon. The website has a calendar that displays dates when each gazebo is available.

The parks are located near the Payette River, off of State Highway 52, about five miles northeast of Emmett. These parks include:

Black Canyon Park with two gazebos which can be reserved. There is a day-use fee per vehicle to enter the park. The park features two boat ramps accessible to people with disabilities. It is open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Wild Rose Park offers one gazebo that can be reserved.

Cobblestone Park has one shelter that can be reserved.

Triangle Park offers both day-use and overnight camping; however, water and electricity are not available at this site. There is a fee for group overnight camping.

Regulations prohibit renting out the entire park at any of these sites; also, a Gem County ordinance prohibits alcohol and pets at Black Canyon Park. Special event alcohol permits may be obtained for Wild Rose, Cobblestone and Triangle parks.

Montour Park, located in the Montour Wildlife Management Area, has overnight camping and tent camping on the lawn. Dogs are allowed only on a leash in this park. The 18 campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Potable water, a dump station and bathrooms are available.
