Much can change on a property in 100 years, from a presidential visit, to serving the aging, and now a comfortable home.
A former carriage house in York, part of vanished mansion that once hosted a president, is now a comfortable home on the Avenues.
Much has changed behind the stone walls and steps to nowhere at 505 Roosevelt Ave. over the past 100 years. Before there was a President Roosevelt to name Roosevelt Avenue, this was West York Avenue, and Thomas Shipley of York Manufacturing Co. built a beautiful home on the sprawling city lot.
According to the booklet "Northwest York, 1884-1984," quoting an earlier report: "His home on Linden Avenue is one of the handsomest in West York. In fact, it is one of the finest in all York."
The booklet explains that Shipley wanted to show off the array of skills at his York Manufacturing Co. (now Johnson Controls). So skilled mechanics at his company built the house, all the way down to gas and electrical fittings. It is not clear when the house was constructed.
The report quoted said the home was an "enduring monument" to the skilled workers of York Manufacturing.
Former President William Howard Taft spent time at the home of Thomas Shipley during a visit to York in 1915.
Misericordia Nursing & Rehabilitation Center opened it first home in the mansion in 1943. According to history on the center's website, "a beautiful mansion... was purchased at a very moderate price and dedicated as a home of convalescence for the elderly ill of the York area".
Four sisters began caring for patients that year with 15 beds. The place served as a nursing home for 22 years until "Pennsylvania laws condemned the wooden building," according to the website. Misericordia moved to its current location on Russell Street in Springettbury Township.
READ: More about the home during this period at Misericordia's website.
Shipley's "enduring monument" was razed in the mid-1970s.
The stone walls, a circular driveway and most of the sidewalks to the grand entrance remain today on half of the property.
The only remaining structure, a stone carriage house, was repurposed as a two-story single-family home in 2002, according to current owners Lou Rivera and Rick Serpa.
"We saw the house in May 2016 and just fell in love with it," Rivera said. Serpa adds that he loves the space.
A small addition was built on the stone part of the structure that includes a downstairs half bath, laundry room and garage, which is currently a gym.
The connection of the home to the addition allows a wall in the foyer and kitchen to be exposed stone from the original structure. The entire home is 2,400 square feet.
Downstairs is an open floor plan with a large living area. The living room and a kitchen/dining area are bisected by a staircase.
At the top of the stairs, with a two-story ceiling and a built-in window bench are two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom.
Rivera, appreciates the house and and the community. The couple has hosted Latino leaders and political campaigns.
"I love everything about York. The challenge of mobilizing the Latino community, working at the baseball stadium and sharing the home with my husband, family and friends," he said.
The stone house shares the property with a row of connected condominiums through a homeowners association. The association covers the cost of yard maintenance and overall needs of the property.
Speaking of the homeowners association, Rivera says, "It makes us a family, we have picnics with friends around the neighborhood, so it's pretty cool."
Rivera said that some owners want to add more homes to the property and some don't. So for now, the interesting stone pieces remaining from the Shipley Mansion will endure.

Longtime U.S. News staffer Brian Kelly will fill in.
Brian Kelly, who has been number two at U.S. News & World Report for the past nine years, will run the magazine following the departure of Brian Duffy announced today by publisher Mort Zuckerman.
“Brian is the perfect guy for the job,” Duffy told The Washingtonian.
Unlike many such statements about changes at the top of news organizations, Zuckerman’s statement appears to be accurate. Duffy left of his own accord.
Duffy has come and gone from U.S. News since he began reporting for the weekly magazine in 1986. He left in 1996 to write for the Washington Post and then the Wall Street Journal. He returned to U.S. News and became editor in 2001.
Duffy ran the magazine through many wrenching changes, including rounds of firings, moving reporters from the print side to the web site, trying to keep circulation up when ad revenues were shrinking.
“It’s a good time for me to do something more about getting my life together,” he says.
U.S. News is the perennial third among the weekly newsmagazines, with Time and Newsweek far ahead in circulation and clout. U.S. News has been trimming staff and promoting its college and hospital rankings on the web site, which has become a more important source of revenue.
Zuckerman is often rumored to be thinking of unloading his weekly magazine, which provides him a page in most issues for his opinion column and invitations to be a pundit on television talks shows.
“Mort supports the magazine without qualification,” Duffy said.
On Friday Zuckerman turned over the magazine to Brian Kelly and left for Australia. Kelly has not been named the permanent editor.
Kelly, 52, came to U.S. News from the Washington Post, where he was a deputy national editor. He also worked at the Post’s Style and Outlook sections. A New Jersey native, he cut his teeth writing for the Sun-Times. From 1985 to until it folded in 1992 he edited Regardie’s, a monthly magazine on Washington business and...
At U.S. News, Kelly has concentrated on developing partnerships for the magazine’s web site and growing revenues from its college and hospital rankings.
Brian Duffy will be working on two books—a history of spying during the Revolutionary War and a thriller on which he is collaborating with an FBI agent.
He believes U.S. News’s prospects are good.

A man shot by Spokane County Sheriff’s SWAT team members Sunday in Spokane Valley has been identified as Bryan C. Bayne.
Bayne, 42, died of multiple gunshot wounds, the Spokane County medical examiner ruled. The manner of death is listed as homicide.
A news release sent Thursday by the Spokane Investigative Regional Response Team said seven deputies have been placed on administrative leave, per protocol, suggesting Bayne was fired at or shot by at least seven members of law enforcement. The release said the group fired a mixture of lethal and nonlethal rounds.
Bayne was killed at about 10:30 a.m. Sunday after witnesses reported a man acting erratically and holding a gun to his head after having broken out the windows of his truck about two hours earlier. He was parked at a Mobil gas station near the intersection of Trent Avenue and Evergreen Road.
During the standoff, deputies said Bayne ignored commands from officers, moved the handgun around the vehicle and placed it to his head.
After moving closer to the vehicle, SWAT members “perceived an imminent threat and fired their weapons,” according to a department news release. Deputies didn’t discover Bayne was killed until they approached the vehicle again, with another plan to de-escalate.
Bayne was pronounced dead at the scene.
A search of court records shows Bayne recently was evicted by Dezda Finn Properties, a Spokane property management company. Records show he lost at an eviction hearing on Aug. 3.
The incident is the third deputy-involved shooting since July 25, when Richard R. Bahr, 54, was shot and killed after kidnapping a woman and reportedly attempting to run over a deputy with his vehicle in East Central.
Josh A. Martin, 31, was shot and killed by a deputy after crashing his truck in the area of North Sherman Road and West Findley Road in northern Spokane County and saying he wanted to kill himself. After arriving, a deputy said Martin grabbed at a handgun and raised it toward the deputy, who fired his weapon.

When David Davis spoke at his party's spring conference in Harrogate this year, he was received by Tory delegates with a little curiosity and a large chunk of goodwill.
His keynote speech to the meeting was more of a relaxing canter around the issues of the day than a blood and thunder rallying cry.
But they liked it in Harrogate, and Mr Davis was all smiles as he walked the floors of the conference centre, and with some justification.
The conference was a big success for the party and the chairman could take a good slice of the credit.
Not bad for a man who had slipped out of last year's party leadership contest in the way self-appointed dark horses usually do - at the first hurdle.
Mr Davis, who counts Tony Blair's communication chief Alastair Campbell as a good friend, had been appointed to the key post of party chairman by Iain Duncan Smith in the wake of the election.
The MP for Haltemprice and Howden had quietly built up an impressive profile for himself within political circles.
Indeed, in the Westminster rumour mill, he emerged as a potential successor to William Hague well before the 2001 general election.
As chairman of the influential public accounts committee, he had been an effective thorn in Labour's side during Tony Blair's first five years in office.
And by shunning a front bench position under Mr Hague he avoided being associated with one of the Conservative Party's most disastrous election campaigns.
Outside the corridors of the Commons, however, he was a virtual unknown, the good works of the public accounts committee only rarely causing ripples outside Westminster.
But his profile and reputation in parliament was raised thanks to numerous inquiries into government spending.
Mr Davis is the son of a single mother and was adopted by a Polish Jewish printworker with strong trade union links.
His grandfather was a committed communist, while his family lines link him to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Some of his formative years were spent growing up on a south London council estate.
A former weekend soldier in the Territorial SAS, he is also a former extreme sports enthusiast who enjoyed cartwheeling out of aircraft into parachute jumps, mountain climbing and flying light aircraft.
These days he confines himself to long-distance walking.
Married with three children, Mr Davis was elected to the Commons in 1987, joining the whips office in 1990 before being made a junior minister for public service in 1993.
In 1994, he moved to the key post of minister for Europe at the Foreign Office, a post he held until the 1997 election.
A Eurosceptic on the right of the party, Mr Davis was given the task of selling the European Union to his fellow Tory MPs and fighting Britain's case in Brussels.

After a year in New York, the 61st Annual Grammy Awards return to Los Angeles, taking place at the Staples Center this weekend on Sunday, Feb. 10. Over the years, World Cafe has had numerous visits from those nominated and those who've won, and last year we were fortunate to have some extraordinary musicians on the sho...
2018 saw numerous Grammy nominated artists come through World Cafe for interviews and performances including several musicians up for multiple awards including Americana women we love. This list includes Brandi Carlile, Kacey Musgraves and Margo Price. While we're on the topic of the diverse musical world of Americana,...
A few more favorite conversations we had last year included Leon Bridges, who is nominated for several awards, Fantastic Negrito, NPR Music's inaugural Tiny Desk contest winner and singer-songwriter Mary Gauthier, whose album Rifles & Rosary Beads, a collaboration with veterans she met through Austin-based nonprofit So...
In the world of alternative and rock, both David Byrne, whose American Utopia earned a nomination for Best Alternative Music Album and St. Vincent, whose Masseduction is nominated in two categories, joined us in the Cafe last year.
Enjoy a refresher lesson on the albums that are nominated this year as you listen to our past sessions from the aforementioned musicians. Congrats to all the 2019 Grammy nominees.
Brandi Carlile performs a live World Cafe Session at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia.
Brace your abs for an emotional gut-punch. Brandi Carlile is here with bandmates and co-writers Tim and Phil Hanseroth. Together, they have a new album called By the Way, I Forgive You. It was recorded at Nashville's legendary RCA Studio A, produced by Dave Cobb and Shooter Jennings. And it's filled with emotionally st...
Kacey Musgraves performing live at WXPN's Free At Noon Concert, recorded live for this session.
Kacey Musgraves is magnetic. There are no two ways about it. It's not just that she can sing like a bird and write like a bard. It's the calm charisma that a person who knows exactly who she is and wishes the same for others can't help but exude.
Kacey has spent years getting to this place of cool, collected self-fulfillment, and the journey is evident on her latest studio album, Golden Hour. From growing up yodeling in ten-gallon hats all over Texas — "I used to think it was so dorky," she told me — to breaking the mold for what a woman can achieve in modern c...
There's a danger when an artist has as compelling a story as Margo Price has, that the personal will overshadow the musical. So let's just get one thing straight first: Margo Price writes really beautiful songs. And boy-oh-boy can she sing.
But one of the reasons Margo's story is such a major focus in talking about her music is because they're intertwined. On Margo's debut record, 2016's Midwest Farmer's Daughter, she wrote raw songs about her own experience — including being broke, pawning her diamond wedding ring and selling her car and spending a weeke...
The night before St. Vincent came in to World Cafe, she played a show at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia. And when I say she played a show, she really played a show.
Up on stage, St. Vincent looked like she should be on the cover of Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Edition meets Guitar World Magazine, 1,000 years in the future. Picture latex bodysuits — one bright pink, one spaceship silver — and thigh high boots. The kind of outfit that on anybody else might look a certain way, on St....

David Byrne opens his remarkable American Utopia show alone on stage, holding a model of a brain. He points to different parts as he sings the lyrics to "Here": "Here is a region of abundant details / Here is a region that is seldom used / Here is a region that continues living / Even when the other sections are remove...
