The home is said to be one of the beauty spots of Highlands. The place is literally five acres of forest near the heart of Highlands.
“The progress of the University and the leadership manifested by members of its faculty have convinced the owner os ‘Corrymeela’ that their treasured home could nave no happier destiny that to be made a pied a terre where the faculty may at will rest or work or play in a home as secluded as they please, and to all intents and purposes belonging to each of them as his very own,” Mr. and Mrs. Farnsworth wrote President Chase in announcing their proposal.
