THE ORIGINAL
"HOME SWEET HOME"

A glimpse at the little house at
East Hampton, Long Island that in
spired John Howard Payne's famous
song. and one can easily understa nd
the longing for home that he felt. The
sturdy colonial farmhouse with its
friendly doorway typifies the home
that one dreams of. Ancient vines have
softened the seven walls of the house.
weathered to a silvery gray. and the
windows with their many panes. seem
to beckon the visitor to spacious
rooms within. where mellowed ma
hogany and old pewter reflect the glow
OF open ores. Fortunately enough. the
house is now owned by G. H. Buck. an
antiquarian and collector of note, who
has endeavored to preserve the place
in its original simplicity. Unlike so
many enthusiasts who restore old land
marks too extensively. Mr.. Buck has
done nothing to mar the homestead
and the house today is just as 1t was
more than two hundred years ago.
For the visitor who is fortunate
enough to see the interior there is
rare treat in store. Wonderful COL
lections of colonial treasures make the
place a veritable museum. Each room
with its huge fireplace and panelled
walls. concealing secret cubby holes,
contains a collection of almost price
less antiques, furniture, pewter ware.
and household implements in use when
the house was new. Mahogany high
boys and brass warming pans, old
spinning wheels and pewter porringers
vie with each other in claiming the
visitors attention. Perhaps most in
teresting of all is Mr.. Bucks marvellous
collection OF silver lustre ware. the
largest collection OF Its kind in the
country outside museum. Over one
of the old fire places is portrait of
Payne painted by Willard.
A visit to the low ccilinged rooms
above reveals four-posters OF ancient
lineage each with It's hand-woven
covcrlid. There are highboys and low
boys. rugged old chests with interest
ing pasts II they could but tell them
and all the Lares and Penates so dear
to a colonial family Between the gaily
warped and time worn floors followed
Thruout the house there. Is an air of
fricndliness and bygone hospitality
which enables the visitor to slip hack
into the past and live for moment
