contained only old newspapers,
and was apparently done when a
bathroom was made, using only
part of the original room, with
the rest of the space sealed off.
The house had attached to it a
three-story stucco house, and
broken stone construction was re-
vealed when the old house was
torn down. 1T was then seen that
the Dwight house, had been three
different heights during the years,
with three separate and different
rooflines. According to Mr.. Hos
Rinson the Dwight house was
built long time before the other
house was attached, using the
wall of the original house as a
common wall. The property was
purchased by Milton Lord, of
Woodland Beach, and he plans to
build a modern two-story struc-
ture, with a store on the first
floor and apartments over.
