In 1907, The Greene Brothers started Construction on the Robert R. Blacker House. This house was commissions by a very successful man in the lumber business then retired. To incorporate in Mr. Blacker, love of lumber they relied heavily on the use of exotic hardwoods from all over the world. They managed to blend wood and metal to make it appear as seemliest combination. The Greene Brothers designed every inch of the building to come together as a work of art from each custom-made light fixture to the very walls itself.

This building is absolutely amazing and now is considered to be on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Each inch of the building is so thought after those previous owners used to sell the furniture and even the light fixtures to make a profit. This instigated outrage in many of the surrounding community leading to those practices being shut down. This building is an exemplary example of how natural material can be used in residential areas to create a work of art.
