Do you know my house?

lvfreeordie · 04-23-2013, 11:03 AM

Hi, you purchased the house from my family. We owned that one and the one next door which was sold shortly after. The house was in the family for generations and was never a fishing camp but was initially built as an inn and was so when my great grandfather bought it. It was green with white trim and as on the water as it gets in Wingate Cove. Dr. Scholl never owned the house and I have no recollection of someone by that name living in Wingate. We knew just about everyone in the cove. The commericial was of Maxwell House Coffee where a woman walked out onto the porch to enjoy her early morning coffee. It was filmed in the middle of the afternoon but they used lighting and fog machines to make it look like early morning. Maxwell also paid the neighbors behind you to keep their dog quiet for the day. I believe it was filmed in the 80's (I can't entirely remember when). We built the second house in 1989 and I belive the commericial was filmed before then. I haven't been able to find a clip of the commericial. If I do, I will forward to you.

When did you live there? My father worked for Dr. Scholl probably in the late 30s, early 40s.

Welcome lvfreeordie! You will be properly greeted by RLW soon, I am sure. I find it amazing that you just joined the forum this month and saw this thread and made your first post today. Were you lurking for some time, and this thread caught your fancy and you decided to respond, or did someone tip you off to it? Anyway, welcome I'm sure you will be a good source of info for other topics as your family spent many generations on the lake.

@tis my great grandfather bought the place in the early 40's. I'm not sure who he purchased it from. At the time it was three lots, one on each side with 500+ feet of frontage. Eventually one lot was sold to the neighbors and the other was built on in 1989. We had the house until it was sold in 2001. I've always thought it was the best spot on the lake although I might be a little partial

. Broke my heart to see it go... however I am pleased it went to the people who own it today. Very nice people.

@Pineedles Thanks for the warm welcome. I was browsing around the other day and one search led to another and so on until eventually and accidently I stumbled upon this thread. I was happy to help. I noticed the original post was years ago but thought it was worthwhile to comment. It's about time I registered anyway.

I wish my father was still alive so I could get more details. I do know he would not have been working there in the 40s. My parent's were married in 42. He worked there as a kid, so I don't know how old it was but it would be way before 42. I wish you could find out who your parent's purchased it from. My father always said he worked for Dr. Scholl and it was that house (maybe he didn't remember the right house) and the daugher and son of Dr. Scholl visited my Mom about 8 years ago.

I know my wife can often find the chain of ownership on NH Deeds. It can be pretty entertaining to see the selling prices a 100 years ago. The data base is pretty flexible.
