PLENTY OF ROOM: The living room of the Otwell home offers both plenty of space and beauty. The stairs lead to the second floor sleeping areas. From this room, as from others, one hears the soft churning of the large wheel.

THE OLD POND: Plenty of waterpower is generated from this mill pond in back of the Otwell home. Ralph B. Otwell, sr., with his sons, Bruce, 3 (left), and David, 10, overlook the 10-acre pond and view the distant hills, which will become future home sites.
