About this property

The B. A. and Ruth Stover House is a historic 1927 residence in Bend, Oregon, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 by its current and third owners, Norman and Holly Remer. Located at 1 NW Rocklyn Road, the two-story, gabled English Cottage style house was built on a former Indian campground at the northern littoral of Mirror Pond. The pond was created in 1909 when the Deschutes River was dammed for hydroelectric power. The house was designed by Hugh Thompson and the contractor was Henry Nelson (1890–1984). Thompson was a friend of the Stovers, and also designed the Capitol Theater (1922) on Wall Street that Stover purchased from Dennis Carmody.
