"Sixty years ago this village was a perfect and almost unspoiled museum piece of the Greek Revival Period. Even the barns and out·houses were well designed, with fine panelled doors, moldings and cornice returns. First Mr. Cradit built himself a house where Peter Kline used to live — now occupied by Dr. Norman Moore. … Then a house was built for each of his workmen, which accounts for the harmony of the little cluster of houses and their fitness to their surroundings."
