My great-grandfather built it in 1906 (J.H Bussell) and it passed to my grandfather (Howard E. Bussell). My grandmother sold it in the late '60's.
Sure wish it was still in the family. Thanks. |
We know the very nice couple that bought it. Actually as we know the new owners, we took a walk over this morning and took in the view from the front porch. Truly a very special place. As you know the large piece of land was subdivided by I believe your grandfather. His daughter, still with a lot near he yacht club, was at the Gilford Islands assoc winter luncheon a week ago. She once helped mark off the lots. Our camp is a few lots south of the house on the point, my wife's parents bought it form Howard A. Bussell in 1969.
BTW, the large boulder in the right of the photo that I posted used to be known as Sunset Rock. Also the stone wall where sheep were loaded long ago is on our lot.
