Sonya Gilbert said she wants not only to support the organization financially, but expose more residents to the splendor of the home—all photo shoots will be at the home that was designed in 1897.
The structure was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and was declared a National Historic Landmark by the United States Department of the Interior in 1996. Pleasant Home is a vibrant cultural destination offering a year-round schedule of educational programs, community events and cultural performances.
