Summary
In December 1893, the Citrograph newspaper reported that a sister of Mrs. R. J. Phillippi had "purchased the S.W. Strong property, near Crafton Retreat, where Mr. and Mrs. John Lemberger will reside." Thus Nina Lemberger, a single woman, first purchased the ten acres of orange groves on Crafton Avenue near the town of Redlands.There is some question regarding the year the existing home was built. However, a recent conversation with John Lemberger Jr., the great-grandson of the gentleman who built the house, revealed that the house had been built in 1905 for $5,500.
