In 1862 the Robertson sold the property to Millicent Woodhouse, wife of H.A. Woodhouse, who sold it to two brothers, Thomas J. and John Finerty, in 1890. The Finerty family passed their interest by fractions from the two brothers and Hannah the widow of Thomas, and her five children, and the daughter of one of them, gradually leaving the property to Mae Finerty.

From 1993 through 2008 the Honesdale National Bank published an annual wall calendar, each featured 13 historic sites. The sites were chosen and researched by a committee of the historical society and artwork was commissioned to Judy Hunt and William Amptman by the bank.

This page was one month of the calendar and was made possible through the Wayne County Commissioners and a Tourism Promotion Committee’s Tourism Grant.
