Alma Villa

James C. Duffield and Charles S Hyman had purchased a steam powered yacht, the BethAlma in 1910 which they enjoyed travelling the Great Lakes on. But when the First World War broke out it was surrendered to the government. As a result the two friends and prominent business men purchased properties on Orchard Beach and built elegant summer homes near each other. This Neo-Georgian home was built in 1916 by James C. Duffield as a summer retreat. It has 7000 square feet of floor space. It features 3 equal bays with an addition on the west end that was originally on open porch on both the west side and south side.
