Very cool site. I used to live across the street from this house and baby-sat for a family who lived there in the early 1980s. The owner of the house at that time used to say that the house was once a stop on the Underground Railroad and that the cellar of the house sometimes housed slaves overnight during their trip to freedom. Any idea if there’s truth in that?
Thanks!
