HEY, LOOK, A NEW POST! I doubt anyone is reading this anymore, but just in case, I thought you might find this interesting. I know I did. I recently needed to go to the Winooski Town Clerk's office to get a form filled out for tax purposes, and at the same time do a little research on the right-of-way we enjoy on our neighbors property. The amount of information that they have on our house is staggering, and right away someone recognized our house as formerly belonging to the family that owns the Kingsford Charcoal company...who would have thought?! So while I'm there digging through old deeds and tracing the owners of our house back into the 40's, I was also handed these great old photos of our house dating back into the 1970's. It's interesting to see the changes that have gone into it!
Here it is in 1973 (approximately 90 years after construction):

Finally, here it is in 2004:
I've never shown it, but our house currently has a 6' privacy fence around the whole thing, so you can't even see it from the road anymore. We're planning on lowering it to a 3' or 4' fence this year to open it back up, as it is much friendlier looking when it's open like these photos.
Just to give points of reference, the two windows on the first floor to the left are the dining room, the two windows at the right are the living room, and the single window (2004 photo) on the 2nd floor is our bedroom.
