•  "George Steele designed the house for Josiah Cox, business and civic leader and developer of the Big Spring water system. This home is called the 'Spite House' because of a spiteful wish of the owner to block the view of the city from the LeRoy Pope home further up the hill and to the rear. The first floor ceilings are 14' high and the second floor ceilings are an unusual 16' high." - Twickenham
