Even though The House is nearing 100 years, it's surprisingly has had very few owners. Built by James Ryan during the period between 1909 and 1911, the House was inherited by his son Herbert. The House's Grand staircase and mantles were supplied by the same craftsmen and manufacturer who built and installed the Grand staircase of the Titanic. Both the House and the Titanic were built during the same period 1909 to 1911.
