COVER STORY

THIS NEW HOUSE
Story by Rosemary Edmiston
Gene Callahan's mother used to say that all it took to be a good cook was
knowing how to read and using real butter. The same is true in
building a home, he says. That philosophy earned the Fieldbrook contractor a place in
Fine Homebuilding's annual "Houses" edition and the cover of this month's Journal.
