The Bailey House Mark and Beth Albertelly —
The home of Beth and Mark Albertelly is located at 509 Fairview St. The original owner was Judge William Bailey who built the house at the turn of the century and moved in on November 24, 1903. He then married Louise Sabatier and resided in the home to raise their family. In 2014, the house was restored by Richard Bergeron and was eventually acquired by the Albertelly’s who continued to landscape and care for the gardens. A Chinese Fringe tree is found to the right of the front porch. Near the steps are large philodendrons as well as white Iceberg roses and white Encore Azaleas. A little Gem Magnolia tree is surrounded by Caladiums, Amaryllis, and Daylilies.
