The story
Sunnyland was the retirement home of David R. Menke from 1909 until he sold it in 1917 to retire in California. Menke, born in Pittsburgh in 1848, arrived in Garden City on August 20, 1878, and took up a homestead. The three-story Queen Anne house is built of red glazed brick with a three-story round tower and a full-width circular porch. A third-floor ballroom was converted to an apartment and bedrooms to sleeping rooms for rent in the early 1960s. The house still has its brass central-vacuum fittings and a coal chute door with a 1903 patent mark.
