Anecdotal Stories by Past Residents and Visitors

If you have lived in Chester, Chesterfield or Richmond and have a story about this old house we would love to hear from you! We are especially interested in anyone who may have family photos that show the house in the background. There has also been many repairs and small renovations that we would love to put a date to and hear about the "who's, how's and why's" of it.

For instance, shortly after we moved in we had an AC repair guy come out and get the old heat pumps running. As he was leaving he mentioned "in the early 70's he really partied in this house!" He said, "The pastures we full of cars!".
