Added bathroom
upstairs. Built out over small room (Study)
downstairs in 2005 (which was a nightmare of a
project and a lousy contractor that I had had it
with by the end and had to fire). Added patio and
back door entering & exiting from dining room in
2006. |

I bought this house in
March of 2000. It is my first house I ever bought.
The street was originally named School St. No. 1
(and the other two streets were No. 2 & No. 3). All
land on these three streets were willed to the town
of Bristol by Nathaniel Byfield. No land was able to
be purchased and all residents on these streets were
able to own their buildings, but the land was rented
from the town. The money generated from the rent was
given to all the schools in the town (hence the 3
street names). The street names were eventally
changed to First School St., (Second & Third School
St. respectively), shortened to First, Second,
Third, and then changed back. In 1960 the Will was
broken and residents were able to buy their land. |

| Changes to House | Recently I completed a three year project to restore the outside of the home as well as the grounds on the property. The entire home has been painted ?historically accurate? and I have replaced the existing lighting with fixtures that best fit the era of the home. I had the brick wall surrounding the property rebuilt and topped it with a custom made wrought iron fence. New gates and urns on top of the columned pieces of the wall finished the period look. This house, which was once an eye sore in the neighborhood, is now a jewel of Quality Hill. |

| Other Information | The William Park house was built in 1908 by William Park an industrial banker. The home is a tutor influenced post and beam construction with six thousand square feet of living space. There are seven distinct fireplaces and five chandeliers all original to the home. I purchased the home back in 1998 when it was separated into five units by the previous owners. Over the years I have turned the main house back to a single family utilizing the servant quartets as an apartment. During the renovation I had to remove walls that had been put up to accommodate the apartments and had to have the electrical updated to code. Currently I am in the process of restoring the original library that was stripped of all wood during the apartment phase; I am having all the wood work custom rebuilt by a local cabinet maker. The entire home is almost completely renovated to its original grandeur. I feel by completing this work it will enable this home to be preserved for many generations to come. |
