PITTSFIELD, Mass, Sept. 2S.-LPl-
Somewhat back from the village
street
Stands the old-fasniOned country
seat.
Across its antique portico
Tall p~oplar-trees their shadows
throw;
And from its station in the hall
An ancient timepiece says TO all
"Forever-never!
Never-forever!"
The Longfellow house where the
famous poet found inspiration to
write THE Old Clock On The Stairs"
IS soon TO pass away-as its stored
inhabitants long since have done.
Civic progress has decreed that
"the old-fashioned country seat"
must give way for the erection Of a
new high school building. The 1885,
year-old colonial-type building, sur
rounded by its wide lawns and ven
cradle trees, awaits its day Of doom
when the courts decide how much the
city shall pay for this and adjoining
properties, taken BIZ eminent domain.
Built as q large, square farm house
in 1870, il was bought and remodeied
into n mansion, 10 years later, by
Thomas Gold. His son-in-law, the
Hon. Nathan Appleton. acquired the
house upon Mr.. Colds death. Mr..
Appleton's daughter became the wife
of the poet, Henry ". Longfellow.
Generations had lived and some had
died within the house, and il was be-
ginning its second half century OF
existence when. in 1s45, the poet i'm
m~ortalized it in his poem. He lived
in the mansion, which he used as Q
summer home, through the early SOS.
The old house has continued as o
homestead down to the present day,
The passing years brought some
changes. One was a mansard roof,
Another was a p%ortico somewhat more
elaborate than on the original.
Within, the home has remained
charming. Here, unframed, are the
old rooms on either side of the en-
trance, beautifully designed. with
arches, ~wainscots, cornices and fire.
places Of the best type in colonial
architecture. The original wallpaper
brought from Paris, remains here
mellowed with. age. Staircase and
hall are as they we're long before
Longfellow knew them.
Opposition developed when the city
fathers decided to take this property
for the needed school building, and
it was decided therefore to keep alive
the traditions associated with the
site. Hence, it is probable that the
school will be named the "Longfel-
low school," and, moreover, the stair
way that played so prominent a part
in the poem may be preserved within
the new building.
The original clock was removed
some years ago to Craigie House. the
Longfellow home in Cambridge, Mass.
Another characteristic grandfather
clock" now ticks on the landing half
way up the stairs. and such a clock,
it is planned, will adorn the pre-
served staircase.
