This was the first home Hershey designed for Mr. William Wright. Wright had Hershey build 3 other houses on LaSalle for his sons (per Marsha and Bob Lucas who owned #82 in 1991 and confirmed by Linda Wright Hanna.)
Linda Wright Hanna wrote, “My Grandfather, William’s, was the first Hershey house built by our family. It shares the driveway with his son (my father) Albert’s house, 82, down the hill. Grandpa moved his advertising business from Rochester to the barn he remodeled across the street from the first house he bought on LaSalle, a beautiful, brick Victorian house he lived in while building his Don Hershey on the hill.”

  1. Hi! I just came across a listing at 1677 strong road in victor which claims to be a Hershey home.

    Researching that home, I came across your website… And I just needed to say a huge thank you for all the work you have put into this site. What an amazing collection of information!

    1. Anna, In his notes, Hershey listed a home he designed on Strong Road (no house number) so this is great information to receive. The house number and real estate posting provide so much more information. Thanks for sending this along! I now have it listed in the Victor section of the site. Peggi

      1. Do you have any info on the driveway facing exterior design on the 1677 Strong Road House (designed for Frederick Ford)? There seems to be some kind of sun deck along the front of the house, but I’m having trouble reading the older plans that I have. I would like to restore the original design — working on preserving this amazing piece of architecture built into the side of a hill. Just starting to look through other photos and am not finding any similar to this place (yet). Great website!

        1. Hi Kate,
          Sorry for the delay in answering you. I don’t know anything about the driveway. I imagine you went to the page on the site with the photos of the house from when it was listed for sale. It looked like a gravel or dirt driveway at the time of the photos. Let me know if you found anything out. And good luck with your work on the house!
