BACK CREEK PEARSON HOUSE?


THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I CAN IDENTIFY THIS BEAUTIFUL OLD EXAMPLE OF RURAL ANTIQUITY! THE ONLY CLUE LIES IN THE FACT THAT IT WAS INCLUDED IN A COLLECTION OF GLASS SLIDES FROM THE BROAD STREET PARK-PEARSONVILLE AREA. NOTE THE POST AND RAIL FENCE IN THE BACKGROUND.

MYSTERY BUILDING

COULD THIS BE A SCHOOL HOUSE FROM THE EARLY TO MID 1800's? IT WAS STILL ANOTHER UNIDENTIFIED GLASS SLIDE WHICH WAS INCLUDED WITH SLIDES RELATING TO THE BROAD STREET PARK - PEARSONVILLE AREA. THERE IS LITTLE
KNOWN ABOUT HAMILTON'S EARLIEST ONE ROOM SCHOOL HOUSES. COULD THIS BE AN EARLY "WILLEY" SCHOOL? "ROWAN?" "RUSLING?" 'TIS A PUZZLEMENT.

Mystery Estate

SEE THE COMMENT SENT BY "LAKESIDE GIRL," WHO IDENTIFIED ONE OF THE OCCUPANTS OF THIS HOME TO THE OWNER OF YARDVILLE'S MACK TOY WORKS. (NOW LOCATED ON RTE. 33 IN ROBBINSVILLE.) THANK YOU, "LAKESIDE GIRL!"

This, and the following post is from a glass negative is a splendid view of an are estate. The negative gives no information to identify the location. It is speculated that the street in the foreground is the un-paved South Broad Street, and further speculation suggests the location could be Willey, Rowan, or De Cou related.

A Mystery House

This photo is taken from an old glass negative and unfortunately lacks any identifying information. Most of the glass negatives in this collection center around the South Broad Street, Willey, DeCou, Colonial Cemetery area of Hamilton. If any viewer can identify this home, it would be helpful to the archives at the Hamilton Library. I suspect it may be associated with the Willey or DeCou or Rowan families.
