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 |

It had a coal fired furnace, and the
grate above it was the only heat source. When you came in
from the cold, you could warm up quickly by standing over
it.

The rooms were spacious and everyone
had a fireplace even though they didn't all work. The yard
was huge and there was a small swimming pool that we enjoyed
as children. |
|
Other Information |
It was built right on the sidewalk.
There was a 6' wood fence on the front of the yard. We had a
playhouse made out of an outhouse, and an observatory with a
sliding roof. |

grew up in this house. Great childhood, great
neighborhood friends, etc. After my parents passed and
we had to sell the house, it felt like a part of me had
died. I still dream that I am back in that house or I'm
trying to find my way "home"

Lowered ceilings, added walls to separate bedrooms, new
kitchens & baths, new windows. Mostly updated in 1972.
|
|
Tell us about your memories of the house? |
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.

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.
