Cary Cottage at Clovernook
A few months ago Carol Kinney Grimes, a Carey/Cary Family member, contacted the editor about the availability of a postcard on eBay The card, as shown, is entitled Clovernook, the Home for the Blind, College Hill, Cincinnati. Formerly the residence of Alice and Phoebe Carey (sic), Famous Authors.
The reverse side of the post card indicated that it was produced by "Kraemer Art Co., Cincinnati and Berlin. Made in Germany". It is believed that it was published circa 1910.
According to Clovernook's web site, http://www.clovernook.org, the "Cary Cottage is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is located on the grounds of Clovernook, 7000 Hamilton Ave. in North College Hill (Cincinnati)... From 1832-50 the cottage was the home of the Cary family, early settlers to the area... Two of the daughters who lived in Cary Cottage, Alice and Phoebe Cary, were well-known poets of their day." Their family can be traced to John Cary who came to Plymouth (MA) in 1630.
Florence and Georgia Trader founded Clovernook in 1903 as the first home for blind women in the state of Ohio. The web site indicated that tours of the Cary Cottage can by arranged by calling (513) 522-3860.
