Excerpt from Day Before Yesterday: Reminiscences of a Varied LifeMy father had a substantial taste in houses, he built his new house of granite, in the classic style which was the fashion of the day, and finished it throughout in black wal nut. The dark - colored granite came from Breakneck, near Cornwall, and the light granite Of which the columns and trimmings are made was from Quincy, Massachusetts. I have heard that when the columns were landed at our dock there was a great question as to how to get them up the hill, as they were enormous. They finally drilled holes in the ends and made rollers of the columns themselves, and by attaching a tongue were able to roll them up to the house.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
