From Hubbardston House-Before
This is our lovely house in "downtown Hubbardston." It looks great from the
street doesn't it?
Why don't you step inside...

What would possess someone to purchase a house that looked like that? Partially, I feel
sorry for old houses that were so obviously grand once-upon-a-time and have fallen into
disrepair. I just wish I could reach out and restore them all... alas (and I'm certain my
husband says thankfully)... we could only rescue this house. Also, my parents have
either built or renovated every house that I've lived in, and through them I've learned to
look at houses and see not what's there, but what it could be.
