To the neighbors our house is often referred to as "the horse-grave house. Until 1957 the neighborhood was a fruit orchard; the orchard appears on very old maps. The last farming owners buried their favorite horse here. When they subdivided the land they reserved this plot and did not allow any home to be built on it for twenty years. Most of our neighbors are ranch or bi-level because they were built when those were the favorite styles. Because of their age the neighborhood has many fine, mature trees. In every season, summer, fall, winter, and spring, it is a pleasure to walk the streets. In recent years several of our neighbors have enlarged and modernized their houses.
The house is in Middletown, NJ, just off the Garden State Parkway, and one hour from New York City.
