Welcome to our historic home!

As a prominent engineer of early 20th-century concrete structures, Otto Roehl built 206 W Glenwood with the same structural logic he applied to infrastructure. Built “as solid as his bridges,” the home features poured concrete foundations and unusually sturdy framing designed to endure for centuries.

The home moved into the modern era with a natural gas furnace installation. However, the original cast-iron coal furnace—a massive “iron hulk” installed before the floor was completed—remains a permanent fixture in the basement, serving as a monument to the home’s early industrial history.

The Iconic Red Roof The home’s most recognizable feature was added: a vibrant red metal roof. Engineered to mimic the aesthetic of Mediterranean terra cotta while providing superior durability, it has become a landmark of the Glenwood streetscape.

Purchased by Drew Sparks and John Golliher, the home is undergoing a thoughtful restoration. We are committed to honoring its history while integrating 21st-century infrastructure, including KUB fiber internet, high-efficiency solar arrays, and on-site EV charging.
