Description
Sepia toned portrait photograph showing Dorothy and Adrian Wright. Their parents, Joseph and Minnie Wright had moved with their family to "The Farm" on Old Post Road, where they raised and sold chickens. Dorothy and Adrian purchased 28 acres across the road in 1926 and lived in a tent while their 2-room home ("The Little Green House" was being built. Adrian worked for the WPA building roads and driving a gravel truck during the building of Knightville Dam. In 1934 the house got too small and Adrian bought land on Rte. 112 to build the house now identified as 106 Huntington Road. The house on Old Post Road was sold to Dave McEwan for $300. The Wright family moved to Westfield in 1942 to be closer to their war work.
