1983 -- The house was purchased from the Simbergs by Clafton Snyder and her husband. The Snyders had planned to restore the house to its original grandeur; however, Mr. Snyder died shortly after the purchase. Mrs. Snyder occupied the house until 1995.
1995 -- The property was purchased by Louis and Billie Van Dyke, the owners of the Blue Willow Inn. The Van Dykes spent several months renovating the house in the fashion that the Snyders had envisioned. The kitchen and back porch were expanded. An 1,800-square foot deck was added to the rear of the home to accommodate large groups and parties. The back yard was fenced and landscaped with formal gardens, fountains and patios. The asphalt drive was removed and replaced with a brick drive.
1996 -- The house was opened as "Magnolia Hall," a catering and special events facility.
