They moved into one of two twin townhouses that her parents had built for she and her brother. The two had three children together and Glessner Lee led an “unextraordinary life.” In 1914, after many unhappy years and a long separation, Glessner Lee and her husband divorced and she moved into her own home, The Cottage on her property The Rock.
