Regarding Von Allmen Dairy Farm House. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
The dwelling stands on a portionof the former Von Allmen Dairy Farm and was built circa 1912. The original owner of the house, William L. Martin, was secretary for Myer and Bridges, a wholesaler of wood and willowware. Martin purchased the 226-acre tract from D. Strother Taylor, a descendant of Richard Taybor (father of Zachary Taylor) in 1911. At the time of purchase, a white frame house was extant on the property. Martin demolished this house and constructed a brick dwelling.

Martin only lived in the house for seven years. He sold the farm in 1919 to the Gray-Von Allmen Sanitary Milk Company. Emil Von Allmen was president of the company when this tract was purchased. He and his family established their residence on the property. Title of the property was then transferred to Emil Von Allmen and his wife, Arminta, in 1919. Emil Von Allmen lived on the property until 1941. It was during this period of ownership that dairy barns and a bottling house were constructed on the property.
