Olds Estate Woldumar House

Title

Olds Estate Woldumar House

Description

Memories from Ena Malin who "worked Gladys Olds Andersen as a house maid, cook, purchaser of supplies
and groceries, and she was responsible for the day to day expenses. Her husband worked As a chauffer during the day for Mrs. Andersen and at night he worked for the Oloffson Tool and Die."

"The property called Woldumar was something that Ena talked about. She was in that house many times to help with events and was so shocked when it burned down. She
begged her husband to take her out there to see it. She said it was maybe December and icy. But she wanted to go and could not understand how a stone building could bum and who started it? She mentioned the gatehouse and the man who lived there. It was his job to let visitors in if they were expected. That house was also of stone. She was particularly fond of the beauty of the Woldumar house it being full of marble fireplaces and mantels and beautiful paneling. She said that Italian craftsmen did the work."
