Significance: Parthenon Manor was originally known as "Riley's Discovery" prior to 1894 when Dr. James W. Rogers changed the name. The house, reportedly built in 1764 for Christopher Lowndes for his daughter as a wedding gift, was demolished in 1941 and the site has been leveled for a shopping center.
