Barr Estate (Back View)

New Ipswich Historical Society

This photo was among the ones labelled as Barr Estate. From the location of the porch on the right side, it appears to be a back view of the house. However the siding is confusing since the front is white clapboards.

Curious to know what the planting is, raspberries? So many questions.

Colonial Meetinghouses lecture

Wonderful presentation by Paul Wainwright yesterday. Thanks to all that made it happen.

Left Crécy for Paris.  Paris is fresh and beautiful in the spring.  The foliage is much more advanced than in the country.  I took a room at the "Menagerie" where I spent my first winter.  Dined with Lee.
