Living so close to New York City, anything could have been possible.<br /><br />That was fascinating about Point Breeze.

There were so many other pieces described--well, actually, gushed over. If only those photos weren't so dim and blurry...I'm sure you would have enjoyed seeing them.<br /><br />I wonder what became of all those prize pieces. I doubt Mabel's daughter ever got them. And it doesn't appear that Horace had any children from his first marriage. Probably Mabel's possessions ended up being distributed via "estate" sale, too.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-19843726133002681302014-02-05T16:38:23.694-08:002014-02-05T16:38:23.694-08:00Actually, if I had some time, I would try to see i...Actually, if I had some time, I would try to see if I could figure out who's estate the clock might have come from. Not far from my parents house is a manor home called Point Breeze - interestingly enough the home of Napoleon's brother Joseph.<br /><br />http://www.napoleon.org/en/reading_room/articles/files/stroud_joseph_us.asp All sorts of "cast aways and exiles"...Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-69698644505121209742014-02-05T06:48:51.352-08:002014-02-05T06:48:51.352-08:00What a lovely room that must have been:)What a lovely room that must have been:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-61970146834936035492014-02-05T03:07:47.083-08:002014-02-05T03:07:47.083-08:00The descriptions help me picture her fine home, ev...The descriptions help me picture her fine home, even if I can't actually see all those yummies. <br /><br />Given the amount of press devoted to New Jersey these past few weeks, I found your comment especially amusing, if not timely.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.com
