Front  View From Corner of  Worthington Ridge & Sunset Lane

Front & South Side From Worthington Ridge

The porch opened out onto a wide yard with flower gardens all over it.
The sun room at the left is new; it was built around 1985.


Closer View Of Side Door On Sunset Lane

This was used as the main door.  The huge fireplace and chimney to
the left was the one in the rec room (where we held our Cub Scout meetings.)
As remembered - the room was "pure King Arthur" with hand-cut
beams; stone walls with a fireplace; big leather chairs, and a
wooden table that was big enough to roller skate on!


Rear View Of House - From Sunset Lane

There was a formal garden in the back, which faced the carriage house. The
 driveway  in the foreground led to the carriage house, which was behind
 the stone wall.  The carriage house had two full-size bowling alleys;
a pool table, and a working Coke machine!


Looking West Down Sunset Lane
(Where Carriage House/Barn Used To Be)

The original stone wall is all that is left, since the carriage house burned to
 the ground a number of years ago. The carriage house was home to the servants'' quarters and 2 full-sized bowling lanes.   This part of the property was sold
 to a local builder after the fire.  The homes you see in the picture now
stand on the exact spot.
