Excerpt from Souvenir of Old Home Week: Georgetown, Massachusetts, July 25-28, 1909
All that remains to mark the location of many of the old houses is a few lilac bushes, a patch of field lilies, or a few gnarled apple-trees, and in some cases an old cellar with a well near by.
In 1795 there were sixty houses in the New Rowley parish. And these were scattered about on farms of from ten to 125 acres, and all but two or three of these farmhouses and other buildings were of the common ?ax color, or the color of wood exposed to the weather. The two or three exceptions were painted the durable red of Spanish brown. The center school house on Central Street was painted red with white trim mings.
