The original owner Joseph Heim was head of the first major beer baron family, the architects and owners of Electric Park (which was Walt Disney's inspiration for Disneyworld) in the East Bottoms with a scandelous family story, and the home is being privately offered to our group, as its steward is a homeschooling family preparing to open a bed and breakfast and event venue.
