the winters constructed their third home in 1929, on a site one mile () north of their bulb farm and at a cost of $32,000. cecilia's brother elmer h. roedel designed the two-story home using a mix of the popular spanish eclectic and mission revival styles, based on his own home in portland, oregon. by the early 1930s, the winters farm included several additional bulb houses, private residences for guests, workers' quarters, and eight greenhouses. further expansion of the winters farm was stalled by boggy ground in the slough and the family gradually sold off their land holdings during the late 1930s. the winters relocated to kent and sold the house and bulb house to austrian immigrants anna and frank riepl in 1943 for $40,000. the riepls built several new structures on the property but made few substantial changes to the main house. it was rented out to various tenants, one of whom shot and wounded anna riepl in 1962. anna riepl sold the house in 1980 for $330,000, but continued to live in the dilapidated home until she was forcibly removed by a court-appointed guardian three years later.
