Editor's note: This is a look at the old Ray Farm, the site that is being considered as a place to build 325 new homes, called "Ray's Regarde."
After purchasing 88 acres for $1,000 in cash from Aubrey L. Clarke and Maude Blaine Clarke of Washington D.C. on June 14, 1920, 46-year-old lay preacher, carpenter, and farmer, George W. Ray started to build a house for his still growing family.
