Mr. Stys is the son of Konstany Stys, Polish immigrant and Claremont builder of the 14 houses of the Russian Village neighborhood on South Mills Avenue in Claremont. These unique, folk-architecture homes, were built without formal plans and entirely from recycled materials. Ray Stys helped his father in construction of several of these homes.
