The "Squire Holmes" house, Lake Street, 1890<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The house now known as 53 Lake Street was once the home of \u201cSquire Holmes\u201d whose father Jonathan Holmes Sr. built it at the time of his marriage to his second wife, Rebecca Tilden in 1752. Although it was a small structure, it was a double house and easily accommodated two families.\u00a0 In 1773, \u201cSquire\u201d Jedediah Holmes, son of Jonathan Sr., married Sarah Adams and they moved into this house with his step-mother.\u00a0 Their descendants lived in the house for many generations.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The tale is told that Sarah , the \u201cgrandmother\u201d to later generations,\u00a0 had planted\u00a0 a rose at the front\u00a0 doorstep when she came as a bride to live in the house.\u00a0 Later daughters of the house took slips of this \u201cwhite rose of Savoie\u201d from the original to plant near their marital homes, bringing the familiar to the new.<\/p>\n

The view of 53 Lake Street above dates to around 1890; the one below from April 2008.\u00a0 In the newer photograph, despite the additions to both sides and the rear of the house,\u00a0 as well as front and back dormers, the original small structure can still be seen.<\/p>\n
