During the period 1913 to 1937 this property was the summer estate of H.R. Mayo Thom. The gazebo pictured here was built and enjoyed by the Thoms during this period. Catherine (Thom) Parsons, daughter of H.R. Mayo Thom recalls: "In the evening after dinner, if there were no guests, my parents walked down the path to the summer house overlooking the Bay. They sat there alone, by the hours, smoking and watching the shipping on the Bay. They were very romantic and deeply in love, which they continued to be the whole of their life together." The gazebo pictured was destroyed by Hurricane Hazel in 1954. |
