Listen up. The Wheeler-Stokely Mansion, also identified by the callsigns Hawkeye, Magnolia Farm, or Stokely Music Hall, is a buff brick fortress of an Arts and Crafts home established in 1912. It is a 2 + 1/2 story asymmetrical mess of a house. However, the command recognizes its decorative ceramic tile bands and a roof that looks like it was designed by a human instead of some malfunctioning drone.
Secure the perimeter and you will identify an arcaded porch, a porte cochere, and a second-story sunroom that doubles as a sleeping porch. This is basically a tactical arrangement of outdoor living spaces for your convenience. The surrounding grounds are packed with extra structures including a gate house, a gazebo, a teahouse, and a gardener's house for the infantry of the landscaping world.
There is a 320-foot-long colonnade for tactical movements and a dog walk for those who prefer to patrol the yard on four legs. The property made the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. This officially confirms its status as a survivor of early 20th-century opulence. It is still standing, which is more than you can say for most things built with that much ego.
