Southgate House

Posted on October 17, 2019 by Don Taylor

New “Homes” Photo Gallery

There is a new “Houses” gallery which includes three photos of the Southgate house.

  1. An early photograph of the Southgate House in Dunstan (before telephone or electric service).
  2. There are two other photos of the Southgate House that are quite similar (after telephone and/or electric service).

There are higher-quality (600 dpi) images of these three photos available.

Bob White’s Carriage House

The Southgate house became the Dow Farm and later became Bob White’s Carriage House (Restaurant).  Yum, a lobster dinner with appetizer, salad two vegetables, desert with tea or coffee was $4.50. We have a copy of the menu — Bob White’s Carriage House – Menu (Southgate House).
