A few weeks ago I stumbled across an announcement about the son of the 3rd owners and posted about it.
Last week, one of his sons happened to be in town for a college reunion. He and his wife stopped to look at the house and SWMBO coincidentally was outside. They chatted and she gave them a tour of the interior.
This was his grandparent's house, so as one might expect, he doesn't have vivid memories of many things. Likewise, there are things I remember about my grandparents' houses, but there are details I don't recall either...
He was able to share some interesting information, though. The paintings on the door of the study bath are likely not original to the house. He believes they were painted by his great-grandfather, W. B. Robertson. He shared this photo of a painted fireplace screen that he says was in the house and was also painted by his great-grandfather. The similarity to the hunting scenes on the door are striking, so I certainly agree with him.
