Lam House in Central Arlington Receives Local Landmark Designation <\/p>\n

Have you ever driven on Davis Drive and Lynda Lane and seen that giant concrete well? The property, known as the Lam House, is now officially an Arlington Landmark.<\/p>\n

The Lam House, which was once part of the O.S. Gray Nursery, received a local landmark designation from the Arlington City Council in November 2025. The ranch-style home was built between the late 1940s and 1967 by Cranford and Novella Kendall Lam, a direct descendant of some of Arlington\u2019s founding families, the Sheltons, who are buried in the Arlington Cemetery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The three properties, 1801 S. Davis Drive, 1108 and 1110 Lynda Lane, contain a windmill and a concrete water tank, which was the home\u2019s only source of water until the 1990s.\u00a0The well was drilled to a depth of 180 feet, ensuring it didn\u2019t run dry in the summer.<\/p>\n

You can learn more about the City\u2019s newest landmark and other historical landmarks across The American Dream City in the interactive\u00a0Local Landmark and Historic Districts Map<\/a>\u00a0developed by the City of Arlington.<\/p>\n
