Nice history of the Currier restoration project. When I was a kid quite a few people in Town were very interested is Period architecture and furnishings as well as art. I found it fascinating and loved visiting houses that contained antiques. The concept of living with antiques amid the changes of modern life was a big thing. Mildred Lund and Marion Legsdin among many others were enthusiasts as I recall.
But about the reported raid on Mountain House. Was this written up elsewhere as well?
The Currier house is in Bank Village where River Rd and Old Country Rd intersect. I've always loved that house, been in it many times. Bill was my ski instructor; I bought all my early ski equipment from him. I skied with his daughter Linda. I admired his work as a machinist and was impressed with his machine shop.

I am also interested in the raid... but nothing yet.
I assume this was the Mountain house on Mt Wachusett. Raid?? Duckett?? What is this about?
I wish I knew, maybe we'll learn about Duckett from some scrap of paper.
I remember Bill talking about how he renovated the Appleton place. He said it was a big project.
I never knew or have forgotten that Bill Currier lived in that house on Appleton Rd.
