Memories of Rocky Woods Reservation 
  Original : $650 

When winter arrives anyone who lived in Medfield before 1980 will have fond memories of Rocky Woods. During the winter months the skating on Chickering Pond was without a doubt some of the best anywhere. For the kids growing up in Medfield it was the social place to be. Next to Chickering Pond was the hockey pond. For those into skiing, there was even a rope tow to a small skiing hill. Also, I remember Snowmobiling to Rocky Woods and was a member of the Pine Valley Snow Riders. Unfortunally in 1980 the Trustees of Reservation made the decision to end active recreation. Thus, Rocky Woods now lives only in the memories of those in Medfield fortunate enough to have experience it.

      The Peak House was originally built about 1668 and was burned down in 1676 during the King Philip's War. It was rebuilt about 1680. Although the Peak House has a footprint of less than 400 square feet, it has three levels plus a more recent basement.  The original owners were Benjamin and Dorcas Clark with their nine children! During the 1890s the Peak House served as the studio to John Jesse Francis water-color artist John Jesse Francis.  It was deeded to the Medfield Historical Society on October 18, 1924. 
     When I did a previous painting of the Peak House from an old photo ( ~ 1895) , I noticed a cat sitting on the fence.  So this painting of the Peak House today includes  the Peak House cat.

This watercolor is referenced from a photo taken of the Peak House before it was restored in 1923.  My guess this is what the Peak House looked like sometime around 1895.

Allen's
Castle Hill Golf Links

North Street, Medfield Mass.
Original:  $250 

Take a ride down North Street and look closely at the large field now known as the Steeplechase Course currently owned by the Norfolk Hunt Club.. There is a stone chimney, that has been standing there for many years.  What was there?   Take a close look at this beautiful field and examine the land.  What does it look like? The chimney was the fireplace for the  Allen's Castle Hill Golf Links club house.  Look again at the land and doesn't it look like it was at one time a golf course?

Floyd's Pinstriped Truck

The Peak House, first built in 1651, is the most famous landmark in beautiful Medfield, MA., hometown of the junkyard artist.  Mr. Floyd Ours owned a
snowplowing company during the mid 20th century in Medfield.  His trucks, such as the 1962 Chevrolet in the foreground, were custom pinstriped as portrayed by this early painting done by the artist.  It is believed the truck is currently in NH.
