Martana [sic], c. 1910 | Martanna Flats, 1909 Someone has written on the back of the Martanna card that “Mr. Martin Durrett and wife Anna own this property so this is how it got its name.” |
“There is a rumor afloat, that several of Covington's generous millionaires are about to buy 'Wallace Woods'
and donate it to the city of Covington for a park. It is sincerely to be wished that there is much
truth in the report, for there is no more convenient nor more desirable place for a park.
The grand old mansion [Holmes Castle] would be a charming place for a 'Public library.'”
