| The Bodenheimer house was one
of a few two story houses in the valley. It was built by a German
carpenter. All his neighbors thought that he was a bachelor and wondered
why he was building such a "large" house. When it was completed,
his wife and two children came over from the valley. She took one
look at the house and the surrounding country-side and announced "I don't
care how nice a house you built, I'm not living in this country!" and went
back to the valley. After selling his acreage & the house to
his neighbors the Webster's he also went back to the valley. His
well built house is part of the Village Museum and is greatly admired. |
