I have to correct my spelling of Chauncey Perry. My friend is spelled Chauncy, no e. His grandfather was Chauncey, an engineer who was well known. His great grandfather was also Chauncey. The Perrys and the Tuttles go way back in New Ipswich history. The little girl in the above photo was Cynthia, born Dec 1961. In a previous photo where you find Nancy in the doorway of the Red Pine house she is pregnant with Lisa. Helen Tuttle Perry also spent summers at the Red Pine. I occasionally played chess with Helen in the mid to late 50s. I think the Red Pine farm was in the Tuttle family before it became a Perry summer home. Chauncy's grandfather had a summer home on Perry Rd called 'Brookside'.
The Red Pine house was a special place. Beautiful setting, quiet and peaceful, far enough back from the road so there was little traffic noise. For me it was a 'time warp'. I could walk through the woods from my home and in a 1/4 mile be in another century. And in addition be in good company. I still mourn the loss of that house. Thanks for the postings I don't know what the object on the trash can is. I have a hand cranked corn 'de-kernerler' in my grain shed that looks similar but the one in the photo looks too flimsy to handle dried corn ears. Stone walls are frequently taken for granted (or granite). I built one 50 ft long on my present property. It is waist high on one side and a foot high on the other because of the terrain. However, there is 3 ft of stone underground that you don't see.
Cynthia was born in Sept. 1960. House was purchased in 1911 by Helen Tuttle Perry from Laura Barr.
Grandfather and great-grandfather Chauncy also had no "e".
Gone. I drove High Range Drive last yr and could not see any evidence of it. Just a bunch of new homes.

What is there (red pine) now? Anything? Where was it?
Gone. High Range Drive off River Rd.
A beautiful field of vinca minor, I'll dig up a photo for a future post
