Owned by William Larry Mitchell for most of the home's history until his death in 2015. Larry lived at 2106 Arrington with his life partner, Buford, until Buford's death in 2005. They undertook major renovations in the 1980s, including turning the existing garage into a home office space, adding a sunroom and carport, and building a deck. Larry and Buford maintained an award-winning garden along with two large fountains that they also added to the property.
