Restoration of a New England Farm - The Booth-Dimock Homestead - Hardcover
Synopsis
In the spring of 2001, a building contractor from a neighboring town drives by an old, New England dairy farm stricken with dilapidated outbuildings and fields overgrown with weeds.
Despite its condition, he is captivated by the spectacular view of sweeping vistas and substantial road frontage. Shortly thereafter, he and his wife purchase the property, which they discover is an estate of historical significance.
The couple embarks on the formidable restoration of the farm. The Roman Revival house and Victorian Era barns require much more work than was anticipated. Fortunately, the couple's background in construction helps them to resolve the many problems encountered. Several years later -- after many trials and tribulations -- the restoration is completed.
In addition to the documentation of the work undertaken (and a detailed history and genealogy of the property), there are over one hundred photographs of the project from start to finish that allow the restoration to chronologically unfold.

About the Author
Thomas and Susan Crossen were both born in Connecticut and raised in the Northeast ''quiet'' corner. They met in 1969 at H.H. Ellis Technical School in Danielson, Ct. and were married the following year. During their early years together, Tom and Susan purchased houses that needed improvements. This ultimately led them into the residential construction business.
Tom and Susan currently reside at the Booth-Dimock property, about which this book is written, located in Coventry, Ct. There they breed and raise dressage, hunter, jumper and western type horses. Tom and Susan also manage their own commercial and residential real estate holdings.
