Thursday is "This Old House or Barn Day"



This dilapidated barn, adjacent to Blue Hills, is located on Willard Street. It was built in 1899, and in need of a new owner who has very deep pockets. It would be great to see horses in the paddocks again because this is where I learned to ride English.

I just love old barns. It would truly be nice, restored to its former glory, and housing beautiful horses.

I would love for this place to become functional again. My wife loves riding horses.

Thank you for this photo of the beloved riding stable of my youth, although it makes me sad to see it in need of restoration and revival. I worked here in the early to mid-1960's as a stable girl, taking out groups and mucking out stalls in exchange for riding privileges. It was known as Blue Hill Riding Academy in those days. Fond memories.

Summer Attraction

This tiger swallowtail butterfly was a delight to see pollinating the phlox bed along my driveway.
