1947....the house was abandoned after the depression and required a lot of work, most of which was done by us in the last 22 years in preparation for living in it during our retirement years. We have kept as much of it the same as possible, and the front looks pretty much the same - structurally, at least - as it did in the 19th century. It goes back to 1763, so some changes on the inside were absolutely necessary. We closed in a corner of the ell in the back and made it into a more modern living room with lots of glass and a tree house dining porch. You can't see the modern part from the road. This is the garden around the original 1763 well.......
