RUTH McEVOY COLLECTION SUBJECT TEXT DATE Atwater House (cont) west. Built originally as a school. Rowena and Ed lived in Washburn house on Rose Street. She set her heart on Collins house. When father died a generous legacy made it possible to buy. House ugly inside. Present dining room cut up with closets. Kitchen impossible. Ed had shelves built in library, put one window in drawing room, added mantle. Grandmother Collins had a sort of greenhouse bay, not open to light room, built in wall of library. May have been done by Homelius - she doesn't seem to remember him. Ed got panelling for the library from South America. Rowena says her father left her a small legacy and she persuaded Edward to buy the Collins house with it. Homelius planned the renovation. It was then an ugly place. They put windows in the present dining room and in

the kitchen. The library had no fireplace. Had little high window on east side at grandmother used to sit and watch neighbors. She kept a bottle of castor oil on window sill. She was an ugly old dame. Atwater added bookshelves. The front room is little changed - the Atwaters added windows. The small west side of the house was originally a school.
