This Craftsman style house was built in 1910 by Mr. Norton for his home in the
40 acre walnut grove located off of Bristol Road in East Ventura.
During the twentieth century, many prominent Ventura families, Cheney,
Callens, Vanoni, Ramelli and De Silva were connected to the house.
In 1990, the house was moved to its current location at 71 North Palm Street.
In 1997, it was purchased by Ernest and Lila Kuhn and restored for use as a
restaurant by their daughter and son-in-law, Nanci & Didier Poirier.
It is now the home of their French-American Grill, 71 Palm.
