3 1/2"h x 3 1/2"w black and white photo of the Herring Creek house, also sometimes known as The Folly. John Hodges bought the house from J. Allan Coad and did major salvage and reconstruction. This is a view of one of the gable ends with its massive chimneys. The porch's roof was integrated into the house roof. There were three dormers in the main building. The porch had a closed end roof with a ceiling. Four nine over six double hung windows were visible on the first floor. The central door was not in place, but was leaning against the house. A two by four provided a ramp for the workers to get into the house. On the brick gable end, it was obvious that the roof had been raised in the past. The chimneys were not identical--the right chimney had a high shoulder next to the attic windows and the left chimney's shoulder was below the windows. There was a pair of four over four double hung windows between the chimney stacks. There was a pent between the chimneys with a rather steep slope that may have been roofed in tile. No openings were visible in the pent. There was a short scaffold for the brick mason across the width of the chimneys. On the right side of the chimneys there was a clapboard shed that may have been either a well house or basement access. It had a solid wood door that had failed on the bottom third. The electric meter was on the long side of the shed.
