the same as when he erected it and the
timbers are in a solid state of preserva-
ton. The stills and heavy timbers are of
oak hewed out with an axe. The sheath
ing boards, of pine, are II inches thick
and from "a to 20 inches wide. The
lathing is composed of long boards
which were split open before they were
nailed on. The nails in it are all hand
made and run almost to a point. The
builder and the first owner of the house
was the first pastor of the Old First
Church at the Centre At his death it
went into the possession of Avery Rob-
inson and from them to the family of the
present occupants who have owned it
several years.
