Clean rooms and well maintained. Can find parking on the street or on the nearby lot. The house showcases a collection of model cars, vintage collectables and many more interesting posters and magazines related to the Studebaker and Vivanti automobiles. And the houses are right next to the Studebaker Historic Museum.
