I'm sure you realize how wonderfully fortunate you are to have such excellent documentation of Foxcroft's history.

One advertising piece we have from the developers said in 1927 that they had planted two fruit trees at the back of each lot, since Bess originally had nearly 3 lots that would have made about 6 trees.<br /><br />-MikeMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789671321540125917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11626927.post-6324483371641170662009-05-18T18:37:00.000-05:002009-05-18T18:37:00.000-05:00Brilliant, there were pictures in the box with the...Brilliant, there were pictures in the box with the letter, but they have a date of 1964 on them and they don't quite match up with the locations. But if I go through the photo albums from the 1950's (there are several) I might find pictures from those points!<br /><br />-MikeMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789671321540125917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11626927.post-28897893819191623402009-05-18T16:11:00.000-05:002009-05-18T16:11:00.000-05:00The first thing that the letters with the arrows r...The first thing that the letters with the arrows remind me of is floorplans in the magazine <I>Fine Homebuilding</I>. The letters indicate the location of the photograher, and the arrow indicates the direction that the photographer was facing. I could believe that there are a corresponding set of photographs. <br /><br />I'm surprised to see that so many of the trees are gone. Even though you're a full zone colder than I am, I can't imagine that frost and cold weather would kill all the trees.Christopher Busta-Peckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428701548572867797noreply@blogger.com
