from the Cincinnati weekly Chic (V 1, #19), "There is a rumor afloat, that several of Covington's generous millionaires are about to buy 'Wallace Woods' and donate it to the city of Covington for a park.  It is sincerely to be wished that there is much truth in the report, for there is no more convenient nor more desirable place for a park.  The grand old mansion would be a charming place for a 'Public library.'"

Someone has written on the back of the Martanna card that
"Mr. Martin Durrett and wife Anna own this property
so this is how it got its name"
