Rennie M Elliott The commercial concrete block they replaced the brickwork with is already deteriorating, unfortunately they ripped out the concrete pond, waterwheel and fireplace in the backyard behind the carriage house (where Ken Stowell lived). · Reply · Share · 3y Rennie M Elliott Of course, the place is for sale right now, buy the postcard, and the house! · Reply · Share · 3y Peter Gould Thanks for the pix · Reply · Share · 3y Kitty Myers Mom went to Barbara Prindle's beauty salon in the front. That was in the 50s. · Reply · Share · 3y Kitty Myers The Knickerbockers lived upstairs in the back. Mrs. Knickerbocker used an old fashioned washing machine that had rollers. The school librarian, Miss Flo, lived upstairs in the front. · Reply · Share · 3y Rennie M Elliott Mary Lenhart lived downstairs in the front and had what was the parlor, and enclosed front porch. She said when she first moved in the fancy chandeliers were still in place but that Stowells sold them while she was there. She also said there was a huge wooden workbench in the cellar. I believe the owner previous to Linn was Z.K. Dunn, who also had the corner lot on Hargrave St. which Linn bought as well (1919?) and was having remodeled c. 1923, which included buying a ten foot strip off the lower side to build the property and move the carriage barn one that way to build the long, steam heated garage. The practice being to park the front close enough to drape blankets over the steam radiator to keep the car engine and radiator above freezing. (Before anti-freeze, it was not uncommon to drain the radiator and engine block overnight, or even use kerosene, which obviously lead to fires). I almost think David Beekman (who Janet Washbon mentions in her book on Maple Grove as an early merchant there) lived there or an adjacent house? One of the buildings destroyed in 1883 fire on West Main, Morris, had been his store. Jon Foote told me that Mrs. Linn supervised the laying of the hardwood floors, and the rejects were taken home by Footes and used in their house. until a few decades ago there was a blue spruce from Maine growing on the hillside behind the house which Mrs. Linn had the Musson Brothers haul in and plant as a surprise birthday present for H.H. Linn. They had a "breakfast nook" window looking out the back which is where he was eating breakfast when he first noticed it. · Reply · Share · 3y Carol Nealis For those of us geographically challenged, where is this? 🙂 · Reply · Share · 3y Bob Thomas Take a tour of this house which is for sale now. 69 photos -- inside and out https://www.zillow.com/.../153-Main.../2087727324_zpid/... 153 Main St, Morris, NY 13808 | MLS #118332 | Zillow ZILLOW.COM 153 Main St, Morris, NY 13808 | MLS #118332 | Zillow 153 Main St, Morris, NY 13808 | MLS #118332 | Zillow · Reply · Share · Remove Preview · 3y · Edited Rennie M Elliott I will have to dig out some images and copy them. · Reply · Share · 3y David Merzig I played there often as a child.
