Description

Photograph depicting the Erastus S. Chesebro house, now referred to as Salt Acres (2025). Erastus went to California during the Gold Rush, and returned with enough money to build a large home on Little Point in 1869. Erastus raised horses on the property, which raced at the Manor Inn track. Erastus sold the property to its second owner, Henry L. Davis in 1910. The home was originally built as a three-story, mansard roof, and was later remodelled in 1927 by the Johnstone family.
