[MassHistPres] FW: DUDLEY - Last chance - Federal-era house going, going, gone...?

Wed Feb 23 18:11:16 EST 2011

Yes, it is all-too-typical.  I was just tromping around a recently demo'd
cellar hole here in Sandwich.  Gone for good.  Another case of town-approved
vandalism.  The few standing pieces of split granite foundation not fit for
a pauper's grave.    I did salvage a nice double-stamped West Barnstable
brick.  

I'm sure our window folks here might want the sash if they are old.  GOOD
LUCK DUDLEY!

How about a photograph of that endangered 1780 Dudley house?

I have just tried to spread the word on Twitter.  Let us see whether new
media can help to rescue old structures.
