Who Helped Preserve It
Every building tells a story, and at Pendarvis, there are plenty, each with a unique narrative to tell. Your journey through this picturesque cluster of stone structures will take you not only through the stories of the people who originally created and inhabited them, but also the story of Bob Neal and Edgar Hellum, the couple who salvaged, restored, and made these buildings shine again.

Rock Church Construction INC has been working hard to restore the windows and doors of two of our 1840s Cornish cottages, Pendarvis and Polperro. They were removed late last fall and carefully restored in an indoor workshop over the winter. Work began to reinstall the windows and doors today. We can't wait to see the overall improvement this project will make for both buildings! ... See MoreSee Less

Some of my ancestors lived in the small Pendarvis Bldg.
Please correct me if I don’t have the facts correct.My Grandmother told me it was called shake rag street as women would shake a white dish towel at noon to call the men to the noon meal. We did this on our farm in SW Wisconsin when I was little. In SW the noon meal is called dinner while on the west coast it is called lunch.
