Consider Cole House, Chesterfield

Houses and Barns

Black and white photograph of the Consider Cole house. Consider purchased the home from Sam Cole and then it was sold to Lewis Cowing who sold it to Hescock and Johnson - the owners as of 1905. Reverend George Reed Moody writes, 'This is just the place for a fine hotel.' Also according to Moody, 'above Sam Cole was a son of Ebeneezer Cole of Hatfield,' and 'Sam Cole died in an old house built down near the brook near Mr. Witherell's shop.' Assuming 'above Sam Cole' is a geographical reference. Above the Consider Cole house was a cellar hole where Barnabas Cowing was said to live. Elijah Willis, the Zara and Alvin Rude place, Josiah Fisk, and Mr. Litchfield were all nearby as well. Featured in The South Worthington Parish by Rev. Moody (1905), page 50, plate I, #15.
