The House that Birch Built

Continuedonpage��

Hidden at the south end of Glen Helen lies a remarkable building. Though today we know it by the name of Birch Manor, its original occupant called it simply Glen Helen House. This is its story.

HughTaylorBirch,donorofGlenHelen,conceivedtheideaofahomeintheGlenwhenhedonatedthelandinhisdaughter’shonorin�929.Itwasconstructedbythesummerof�93�andBirchlivedtheresea-sonallyuntilhediedattheageof94.
