My mom found some old photos that we received from Alice Koford when they bought the land on South Street – my dad just scanned the two black and white photos below. When the spring comes, it will be neat to try and recreate the photos today. We are having a bit of a debate on the extent of the stone wall in the middle ground – how much is still in place or was any of it moved? Where the barn used to be is now a new elm tree – my mom placed it there a few years ago at my prompting – under the assumption that there is a lot of good fertilizer in the ground 😉
Photo of the old barn that used to be at the top of the driveway. Note the old Elm died shortly after my parents bought the property and the barn was gone/ruined. The stone work and telephone pole in the foreground still exist
The front of the Koford house (across the street from the barn picture above). This house, built in 1689 by Doctor Davis has a field stone foundation and when I was a kid, it still had corn cobs as insulation
