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. |

PEAK
HOUSE
"11"x"14
Mat":19.99
Original : $250
How

Order me thru my EBAy Store
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.

PEAK
HOUSE
Circa 1895 |
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. |

Note: Closely looking at this
photo from the History of Town of Medfield

fence. From now on every new Medfield watercolor will include
the peak house cat. |

Allen's
Castle Hill
Golf Links
North Street,
Medfield Mass. |
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? |
