Getting to town then was not a simple matter of ordering the car-it is nice to think of the team of spanking bays that was • probably "brought 'round" when the master or mistress wanted to go to Pontiac or Piety Hill. The fact that Mr. Lord was eight years United States consul to Manchester, England .. may have suggested the country estate idea t� him in stronger and more attractive terms than he would have found in this part of America at that �ime. !-fe was a s:-holarly 1'.1an, so they say, and tilled his house with beautiful things-fine books, rare porcelains and engTavings, furniture

After Mr. Lord's death the house passerl through the hands of several owners and was finally purc.hased in 1885 by MT. George H. Hammond, the father of Mr. E. P. Hammond and Mrs. Skae. It was the summer home of the Hammond family for many years, but for the past twenrt:y years the house and farm have been the property of Mrs. Skae who has chamged and added to the house and de­ veloped the farm which now includes 400 acres, reaching across Square Lake road to Long Lake. The trees have grown with the years to noble proportions-indeed no country house hereabouts has so heautiful a $etting of trees that have grown to it and with it. Hammond's lake just behind the house (which was Lord's Lake, filled with the succulent muskalung and afloat with stately swans), has also grown more (Co11timied on Page 22) The stair corner of the entrance Ital/.
