    Makes me nostalgic for the older of the 2 houses I lived in in Newburyport. :(

    I worked on a salt box home once, they don't do real well in southern Louisiana!

    I like the Moses sign. The interior is almost too text book but nice!

    There were several Moses Rolfes in Old Town, Newbury in history. The oldest I found was a captain of a brig whose boat was captured by Spanish privateers, left for dead, rescued and brought back to Cape Ann but died shortly after arrival in 1762. There's a Rolfes Lane that runs off the old town square toward the beach that is no doubt the site of Rolfe family homes/farms/etc.

    We built and lived in a replica of the Parson Capen House. Brings back a lot of memories. Had the same latches, HL hinges, doors, etc.
