Fairmount Estate

Fairmount Estate Fairmount Estate HISTORY The house, designed by architect C.B. Kearfott was built 1925-26 by E. (Embree) Munsey and Maxie Slack.

Munsey was the son of John Slack, the founder of the local newspaper, Bristol Herald Courier. Munsey and Maxie were financially comfortable and built their extravagant home with very modern amenities for the time, such as one of the first dishwashers and intercom systems in the area. Situated in what was then known as Fairmount Forest Park, the summer retreat was the perfect escape from the scorch

ing city summers thanks to nearby, ten acre Fairmount Lake. The house was first subdivided into apartments during a major renovation carried out in the 1940’s following The Great Depression.
