Aerial 1947

The Gadget in the glory days. Separate maids quarters in the 'back' (driveway side). What we would call a 'trophy house' today. Great grandparents still came to get out of the Worcester heat and would stay the summer.
Was torn in half in the hurricane of 1954 (Iwas 2 weeks old and up the hill from this house,staying at the "Big House" my grandfather had built after the war). Mom tells of the adventures of taking a canoe thru the house to salvage the silver.
