Across the street, when the photo was taken, was an old, large house for sale. It would have been ideally converted to a B&B, as the setting was ideal for one.

The asking price at the time was well-beyond our means, or my wife might have had us living in Sandy today!

I have heard Tool-Air quite a bit. That seems like the second most common way. I'm pretty sure I have heard Ta-Larry as well. But I would ask, if you pronounce it that way, how do you pronounce Tule fog or Tule Elk?
