5. Andrew Finck renamed the property “Linden Grove”
Although initially named Wyndcliffe Mansion and affectionately called “Rhinecliffe” by Jones’ family, the Finck era of the home brought out new nicknames. Andrew Finck bought the home from Jones for $25,000, but family members later sold the home to each other for a dollar.
The Finck family called the mansion “Linden Grove” as they familiarized themselves with the mansion. The large amount of linden trees around the property still exists today. The family affectionately called the mansion “Finck Castle” until Anna Wolf Finck Rice sold the property. Following Finck ownership dynasty of Wyndcliffe Mansion, no owners maintained the property for an extended period of time.
