Elliger Park, a tract of 80 acres developed by the Potts brothers, was named a park because of its many beautiful shade trees and park-like setting.

Today, 314 Washington Lane, a classic cape on a corner lot, is noted for its charm, architectural details, beautiful trees and outstanding back garden. Known by local residents as Wolf's Den, it was named by its original owners who lived in the home for 53 years.
