Work  
Changes to House The siding and the porch were both replaced. The unfinished attic was finished and made into 3 sections. Also, drop ceilings were added in some rooms.
Memory The weirdest/coolest thing I remember was when my dad replaced the medicine cabinet in the first floor bathroom and inside the wall I found a very old key. I don't know what it belongs to but I've been trying to find out for years and why it's been in the wall.
Other Information I am Tara, the 22 year old daughter, and I am writing on here because strange things have been happening lately in the house now that we have it up for sale and I am trying to find out the history behind the house. If anyone knows any information on this residence please contact me...TLW1986@aol.com

Grandmother's built in pantry for some reason. I remember vividly the front room with french doors and lace curtains, and a working fireplace.
I always wondered at the well kept houses on this street. I imagine these were built for families working in factories and businesses of the area. Many of the same families have lived on this street for generations.

Work Father worked as a computer engineer for IBM and Mom was a stay-at-home Mom.
Changes to House The house had very old wallpapering which we sheetrocked over. Otherwise it stayed pretty much the same. Before we lived there my grandparents used it as a summer house so it has really been in the family longer than when we lived there.
Memory It was a darling little house and my sister and I spent hours playing in the breezeway. And the back patio off the laundry room was Barbie's World. I had the only upstairs bedroom and I loved to sit on top of my dresser and gaze out the window at the beautiful backyard and during the winter at the lake.
Other Information There was a boathouse that went with the original property. My parent's sold it and the property around it but it matched the house perfectly, they were both a 50s green. Also there was a darling stone "well" at the road where we kept our garbage cans and one in the back yard as a place to burn excess trash.

What kind of changes did you or your family make to the house?
My father built the chimmney in the kitchen, also the carport, moved the porch from the side of the house to the front of the house, poured the patio, put the hardwood flooring down by himself one easter weekend. Built the bookcase in the livingroom, built the master bath downstairs. He was always working on the house.
Tell us about your memories of the house?

I just remember that the house seemed so very big. In the front door and into the livingroom with staircase that went up to a bedroom to the left and a window at the top of the stairs and to the right a full bath and down the hall to the left another bedroom and to the right still another bedroom and stairs that led to the attic. We used to climb out the window and sit on the carport roof at night and look at the stars. In the summer you could smell the ocean we lived so close. As you walked in the front door you walked into the livingroom and it was wide but not deep and as you continued on there was a banister that went around and led to the stairs that went to the basement and to the left was the dineingroom and off to the left was the master bedroom and to the right was the kitchen and a great chimeny which was supposed to have a grill but my father died before he could get it finished and at the end of the kitchen was the back door which led to a small porch. There was the most buetiful lilac tree at the side corner of the house and my dad planted silver maples he loved silver maples.

Work My father was a family dentist in nearby Gibbstown. In his free time he did house remodeling, landscaping, gardening, and woodworking.
Changes to House My father made many changes to the house and property. The screened porch on the front was made permanent. We used to store wall-sized screens in the garage, which were erected in the Spring, and taken down in the Fall, to create our front porch. He added a wood burning stove there and in the kitchen. A greenhouse was added to the front of the house outside the kitchen window. Many trees were planted on the property. We used to harvest some of them as Christmas trees each year. Inside the house, the main improvements were adding a second bathroom upstairs and adding a passageway between the upper hallway and the southwest bedroom under the attic stairs.
Memory My fondest memory was a tree house my father built. It extended from the south side of the ice house to a silver maple at the edge of our driveway, that led from the street to our four-bay garage. Access to the tree house was by a knotted rope. From the tree house one could climb up the tree. Leaving the tree house was easy, by jumping down into a sand pile below the rope. For awhile this was my private domain, because my brother and sister were tto young and not strong enough to climb the rope. When the tree died, the tree house was removed.
Other Information This house was known as the Reeves Mansion. It is a farmhouse dating from the 1700s. The Reeves family cemetery, still maintained by descendants, is located on the other side of the school yard about 200 yards east of the house. A book was written about the Reeves family, which mentions the house. The Gloucester County Historical Society has this house listed in its tour of historic houses, and a sign indicating this is out front along the street. I recall my father saying that the date 1723 is inscribed in the rafters on the south side above the attic, although I never saw this. In the late 1940s or early 1950s, a hurricane destroyed the dormers on the house. The dormers had been removed by 1956, when my parents bought the hosue from the Hill family of Woodbury. When my family bought the house, the Greenfields Village subdivision was being built up around the house. The barn was still there, located about where the Cherry Lane and Redwood Drive intersection is today. They lifted up the barn and moved it to Greenfields Heights to become the Southwood Baptist church before filling in the rest of the subdivision. Before it was moved, my father removed the wind vane from the barn and placed it on our garage. The wind vane had a cow and the name, James. I still have that wind vane. The dirt road access to the house along the north side was abandoned when Redwood Drive was established, and a cinder block retaining wall was installed along the street in front of our house. In my fathers remodelling he placed a "time capsule in the wall. I remember where he placed it, but always wondered what specifically was placed there. The kitchen was paneled with knotty pine boards. Between the kitchen and the dining room was a panel where my parents marked their children's heights on our birthdays. Those marks are probably still there today, in 2007. There was also a long porch on the south side of the house. We used to use it for dinner in the summer, because the windows could be opened to let in the breezes. This was called Chipper's Porch, named after our cocker spaniel. I associate summer barbecues and eating fresh vegetables and fruit from our garden with that side porch. The front porch was used for family gatherings after dinner. We used to use the water from the well in the ice house to water the grass and garden. When the pump broke, we could no longer do that, and had to use city water. There used to be five majestic American Elms on the property. They were all killed by Dutch Elm Disease, and had to be removed. We also had a couple of English Walnut trees, which the squirrels always enjoyed.
