(I have more pictures, but these are some of the best.)
Pictures of my great-grandmother Bobs' desk (Elizabeth Hensen); a Queen
Anne (reproduction, probably late 1800's) piece that she gave me back
in the 1970's. If I remember
correctly, she was born around 1888. I don't know how long she
had this, but probably a long while.

These are pictures of my grandmother Claire Jesup's house in Essex, CT
from a real estate flyer used to sell it in mid-2004. Note: it's
been rather expanded and updated since it was sold by the family in
~1981. I believe it was shelled in the war of 1812 (is this
correct?), and there's a space in the closet floorboards upstairs and
a hidden stairway from the from a closet by the living room up to the
closet that was used as part of the Underground Railroad. It was also
once a lodge for the Freemasons in the 1800's, and a tavern at one
point.
