It was also a small dairy farm. My grandfather was born in 1885 so he was running it at this time. He was also, the Justice of the Peace and the Town Clerk for the Town of Dresden for years.

He was my grandfather--in fact I lived in the same house after it was renovated after I was born from 1952-1958! My grandfather's name was quite unusual--Benajah Perry Ripley and he was Sr. The Hillside House served as a resort in the mid 1900's. It was very popular due to it's close vicinity to Lake Champlain (just down the hill behind the house). The family would arrange fishing, camping, and hunting expeditions.They also had a camp at Pine Lake Linda Ripley Smithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-82285343155382673072011-02-11T20:54:55.486-08:002011-02-11T20:54:55.486-08:00That's definitely a New York bridge postcard. ...That's definitely a New York bridge postcard.

You're so right about the boy looking like Spanky. We just finished watching 50 episodes of Our Gang.<br /><br />PonyBoy,<br />I'm so glad you said this about the wallpaper. I removed five layers from some rooms in my house. It was like traveling back in time...and I did save some of the bigger pieces.Christine H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09786732494496282743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-87625169054013386342011-02-10T12:58:18.833-08:002011-02-10T12:58:18.833-08:00Wow, that is neat about the postcard underneath.

(heh heh) The boy with chickens is great (looks like Spanky from Our Gang!), and the one with an image over an image is intriguing. I wonder what that was about?
