Hawthorn Hill \u2013 Orville Wright<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n With its white pillars and twin porches, Hawthorn Hill has long been synonymous with Orville Wright and the Wright family. After purchasing property at the corner of Salem Avenue and Harvard Boulevard in Dayton, OH, the Wright brothers\u2019 younger sister, Katharine Wright, soon cajoled her world-famous brothers to move construction to Oakwood\u2019s rolling, idyllic hills.<\/p>\n You can join the ranks of Charles Lindbergh, Henry Ford, and Thomas Edison as visitors to the world\u2019s first pilot\u2019s last home. When Orville died on January 30, 1948, Hawthorn Hill was purchased by National Cash Register (NCR) for use as a corporate guest house.

In 1974, Elvis redecorated with the current furnishings he stumbled upon at a Memphis furniture store. This room became a family favorite and Elvis liked it in part because it was reminiscent of Hawaii, where he enjoyed vacationing, film-making, and performing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Villa Lewaro \u2013 Madam C.
