Locust Grove in Drayden, original house 1Entry/Object ID
1995.001.2263Description
3 1/2"h x 5"w black and white photo of a photo, of an old house at Locust Grove. The house was torn down and replaced by a much grander home in 1898 or so. J. Allan Coad owned the original photo and allowed Mr. Fenwick to copy it. The main building was a story and a half stuccoed building with a cedar shake hipped gable roof. The roof was in very poor repair. The photo was of the long side of the building. There were three gable roofed dormers in the roof; the visible one on the left was narrower than the center one. The right dormer was obscured by trees. On the left side of the main building was a single story addition with a cedar shake roof with a large white chimney rising through the roof near the main building. There was a dentil vergeboard on the eaves of the addition, but not the main building. There was a single four over four narrow window centered in the wall of the addition. In the main building, there were two six over six windows with dark shutters, a center entry door with an eight light window, and two more six over six windows with shutters on the right. The right most window had its shutters closed tight. There was probably a chimney on the right gable end, but it was obscured by trees. There was a three bar fence between the house and the road. A man was standing next to the center door.
