Oldest Frame House in U. S. A.

The following article on the oldest frame house in the United States, which appeared in a house organ published by the California & Hawaiian Sugar Refining Corporation, Crockett, Calif., will be of interest to many lumbermen: C

and H Sugar Used in White House Candy

"A recent customer of C and H is the ,stowaway Sweet Shop,' Swampscott, Massachusetts. This shop occupies the Governor John Humphrey house, the oldest frame house, standing in its original form, in the U.S.A. It was constructed in 1634 by order of King George III. .Stowaway Sweet Shop'furnishes candies weekly to The White llouse, in Washington, D.C. During the recent visit to this country of the King and Queen of England, their entire resuirements of sweets were'furnished by this shop.

"The Governor John Humphrey house, in which these candies are made, stands, at the age of 306 years, a monumcnt to the sturdy character of the colonists who built it. A clapboard house on a framework of brick imported from England, it has personality about it inherited perhaps from the generations who lived within its walls. There is an air of detachment about it, restful to the busy people of today.

"What does depression or prosperity, .war or peace in Europe, matter in a home hewn from a wilderness, built to withstand 300 years of battering by nature and man ?

"Built by order of King George III, whom this house survived to supply sweets for the table of the first British King and Queen to visit this country, 300 years later. Having withstood the assaults of nature for centuries, the house seemed condemned to death some years ago when workmen were on the grounds to raze it to permit of a 'modern' building. Quick action by public spirited Swampscott citizens led by Mr. Henry Sill Baldwin, saved the structure. Today the house is occupied by Mr. and Mrs. George Moore, a couple with a sincere appreciation of the historic value of the house and its furnishings. The kitchen where once, a hundred years before George Washington was born, meals were prepared for the famous men of Colonial Massachusetts, is the scene of the manufacture of fine, hand-made candies, rvhose excellence have rvon for them a daily place on the dining tables of The White House. There candies are made with the most careful attention to the Quality of the ingredients.,,
