How wonderful to know that somehow you found out about our project! David & I were reading your comment last night and just couldn't stop saying "Wow!!!" We have lived next door at #75 for 24 years. If we could share emails through Amy & Kyle Bergquist, we'd love to hear more of your memories (and about who lived in OUR house) while you were growing up at #79!

I am so glad that the Kleins and Winkleys have taken on this project. I grew up in this home. We moved into the home in the late 1950's with my grandparents who had lived there and raised their 9 children. My mom and dad moved back so that my mother could help care for my elderly grandparents. I am the oldest of 5 children and have WONDERFUL memories of growing up in that home and being part of such a great neighborhood!! I am a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Wethersfield and had the opportunity to see the house when it was listed. Before going in, I was so afraid to find the house in disrepair and maybe find the fabulous wordwork on the stairs and fireplace mantels ruined or destroyed. I was relieved to see that they were intack, but sad to see the overall condition of the house. The wonderful pantry in the kitchen, where we always baked and prepared meals, was dismantled and the outside needed so much work! I arranged to show the house to my mother, my husband and daughters, and my siblings on Mother's day of this year. It was very emotional for all of us but a great opportunity to relive our childhood! We share a fondness for that home and it's wonderful neighborhood. My family sold the house in the 1970's. Because none of us are really in a position to have bought it and make the needed repairs, I am truly grateful to the Kleins and Winkleys who have made the commitment to restore this deserving house to a wonderful home again.

Thanks for publicizing it via your blog, and thanks to the Kleins and Winkleys for taking on the project. It is a beautiful house, and I know they will do a magnificent job of restoring it.
