The Lemann Family has implemented various architectural changes to the Palo Alto Plantation Home. Notable changes include the enclosure of the porch to create a back living room, the construction of a pigeonnier, the installation of front porch steps, and multiple paint applications, progressing from green to metal gun steel to ocre. Additionally, the home has undergone modifications, including the installation of wallpaper and stairwell changes from "Lemann Building" and other elements. Successive owners, commencing with Arthur Abraham Lemann, followed by his son Arthur "Bubs" Anthony Lemann, and currently his grandson Peter Thomas Lemann, have all contributed to the home's transformation. A historical report, published in 1976 in conjunction with HABS, provides valuable insights into the home's history, which has been captured through photography in four distinct versions. Kyle Rome
