Readers may look at this picture and see two men in an empty old room with ceiling height that's nearly double their own. I look at this picture and see two little boys whose parents moved them to Fortune Street and worked to keep them fed and safe so they could spend their days discovering the world in and beyond their neighborhood. I see them with toy trucks, growing taller and taller, going to school, riding their bikes, climbing trees and catching tadpoles in Town Creek. I see them graduating from school, finding partners, going into business and becoming parents.
Saturday, March 18, 2023, childhood friends Tom Waggener, at left, and Doug Janes, at right, met at the old house which was a constant part of their world and is now listed for sale. As they discussed property values, sales, purchases, restoration, I could only stand by and feel grateful at how awesome life is and how their generation is now taking the lead.
Built in 1812, The Field House exudes a sense of history - it's our connection to Mark Twain - and elegance that captures the imagination of those who appreciate tradition and historical preservation.
