In “Randolph Old and New”, George N. Cross writes: “On the lands once cultivated by the Revolutionary patriot Obadiah Mann, Miss Mary Ingham, of Malvern, Penn., has a cottage on a site that for years has been a favorite viewpoint—commanding the grand ridges and ravines of Adams and Jefferson.” Elizabeth Hilles acquired the property in the 1930s, naming it Inghamwood in honor of her friend and mentor. Her grandson Keith Dempster, and his husband Red invite you to confirm George’s assessment at our porch party. Hosted by Keith and Redza Dempster and Hatchi the Dog.
1904, wood paneled interior. Hosted by Franklin Stone and David Wenk.
Randolph is special for its natural beauty, its great community, and for its history. If these Boothman cottages could talk!The core of our Randolph experience is our porch. Each day starts and ends there. We’ve got so many memories - just sitting and rocking for a few minutes is enough to reconnect us. Hosted by Blake, Dell, and Thomas Strayhorn.
Our house was built in 1965 for Bishop Robert Hatch and his wife Helen, and is identical to the house they purchased previously in Lancaster. The design of the house is named "The Nantucket!" We are the latest in a long line of owners and tenants since that time. We have a beautiful lawn, garden and patio from which to view Madison and Adams. Hosted by Lisa and Steve Teczar.
The Kelley home gardens and walls were designed by our neighbor Bob Onaki and are maintained by Daniels Landscaping. The porch looks out at Madison and Adams as well as toward the Mahoosuc Range to the East. Political candidates including Arnie Arneson, Andrew Yang, Anne Kuster, and Maggie Hassan have spoken from our porch. We have enjoyed two weddings from the porch, countless 4th of July celebrations and family gatherings and some Thanksgiving Celebrations from the porch. Hosted by Mark and Kathleen Kelley.
We have a spacious comfortable porch with a beautiful view of Madison and Adams. Hosted by Mary Minifie.
Then off to the RMC Annual Meeting at 7pm. Our parents, John and Josie Eusden, purchased this parcel and built our house in concert with the sale of the Ravine House property to the Randolph Foundation in the early 1960s. Douglas Horton recommended that our father buy the property after they had gotten to know one another through United Church of Christ ties. Our parents added a lower house designed by Tim Sappington and built by Rob Bolash in the 1990s. With plenty of room, the house is a favorite gathering spot for generations of Eusdens. And the Valley View is, of course, fabulous. Hosted by Sarah Eusden Gallop & Andy Gallop.
In 1926, my grandmother, Hazel Peek employed John Boothman to build a small summer cottage with a very large porch. Generations have sat on that porch enjoying the spectacular view of Mt. Madison and Mt. Adams. Thankfully the view has not changed, but the cottage has grown a bit. Additions by Bliss Woodruff and Tim Sappington have transformed the house into a very comfortable year round home. Please join us to share some refreshments, conversation and the magnificent view. Hosted by Ginny and Rick Umiker.
