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. When I bought it, the house had two bedrooms upstairs, and a living room, dining room, small room off of dining room (which I used as my den and later converted to my study), kitchen, and bathroom downstairs. I believe the kitchen and bathroom was added on sometime in the 1920's and door entering the kitchen from the dining room was originally the door to the back yard. The kitchen was either separate from the house, or was in what is now the dining room. The bathroom was an outhouse in the far part of the back yard. The entire house was heated by a stove in the living room and probably a cooking stove in the dining room (which was probably the kitchen) as I uncovered a patched up hole in the chimney when I took the wall paper down. Eventually the entire house was converted to gas, and then electricity for lighting, and oil for heat.

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. I have had fun restoring the place (though it has been sometimes costly), and enjoy the original character it has along with the period detail. My contractor friend doing the finish work on the bathroom project found a nickel from 1869 that was placed under the floor boards when pulling a few of them up which he was kind enough to give me. I have some good memories here, but unfortunatly have not been married yet (hoping this will change) so no family memories other than my birth family visiting and occasional get togethers also some fun 4th of July parties in the back yard, and friend get togethers. The patio makes the back yard even more enjoyable.

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.
Memory
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.
