Wehrle Scrapbook: Wilbur Parsell House Relocation Photo, c. 1945Entry/Object ID
2006.022.015Description
Newspaper clipping from Herman Wehrle's Scrapbook showing Wilbur W. Parsell's miniature house being transported to a new location. The caption reads, "Read Estate is Moving--at least in Springfield, where a miniature dwelling owned and built by Wilbur W. Parsell was recently moved to an estate at Scarsdale, NY owned by Frank Fiore. The miniature house is an exact duplicate of Mr. Parsell's own home in Baltusrol Hills, Springfiled, where he has erected seventy per cent of the dwellings. The house was built last year and put on display in Springfield's Sesqui-Centennial Celebration. Incidentally, it was the first house ever taken through the Holland Tunnel.Acquisition
