Restmore, a Cape Dutch Revival design, which took two years to build, was the home of Dr. Ira DeVer Warner Sr., head of what was later known as Warnaco. He only lived one year in the house though, before dropping dead of a heart attack in 1913, according to DeVer G. Warner.
The home, with its 11 rooms, was once the main house of a 200-acre estate which included a working dairy farm. The dairy farm, however, didn't last very long when after about a year, the entire herd died. The design of the home is a "rare, mostly intact, example of a locally unusual architectural style," according to the NPS application.
It was to be Dr. Warner's country house, and he and his wife were very active in the business and social life of Bridgeport, where they also owned a mansion. In his capacity as president of both the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company and the Bridgeport Gas Company, he had water and gas mains extended to service the new home.
