Title: Love Rocks
Post by: Steve on August 13, 2009, 08:05:18 PM

Does anyone know the current address of NGH's home, Love Rocks ?  Is it 142 Hope Street?  How about the name of the people who live there now?

Thanks.

I believe 142 is the one on the corner of Hope and Burnside - Across from the Museum. I think it was one of the original Herreshoff homes. I could be wrong of course  ::) ...Not sure I know the address of Love Rocks - but let me see if I have it somewhere.

Here is a link to the picture of 142 from Sampsons book....I think Love Rocks is like 131 or 133....

He also lists the 1880 census in his book for 142.

If you have access to something like "Ancestry.Com" you should be able to get the address of Love Rocks from that pretty quick from a later census. When I get home I can check.

Actually, after some more searching I believe it is 6 Walley Street.
