My love affair with antiques began with our first home in Ridgefield, Connecticut. It was a small 1797 farm house which we completely restored. Frank did it! I watched and learned. This is what started our 17th & 18th century antique collection.

We left Ridgefield after 11 years and moved further north in Connecticut. We bought two very early houses, one was built in 1732, the other in 1740. We dismantled, moved and re-erected them on 20 acres. Frank was the general contractor. He did an incredible job! You can actually see the houses in the September 1999 issue of Antiques Magazine.
