Okay, Andy: the house is no longer there. It's been replaced by 80's style condominiums.

Ahhh....I bet it's the one that was on Salem Street at the entrance to Heron Pond.

I believe the other house on the left is the one that's still there.

Here is another hint... What I liked most about the photo were the barn and the animals behind the house-- very unusual for an almost downtown location. Guess the street!

This might be the first time everyone's stumped so far.. good job picking a tricky one this week, Nancy! (Full disclosure: I never have any idea what the answer is...)

Oh, it's an excellent one...I'm going to guess on Chestnut Street, on the left, a few houses before North Ave, where there is a condo building now.

Right again, Andy! This was 28 Chestnut Street- the home of Shep Berry, owner of Berry Moving Company. Thanks for playing!

That was SUCH a hard one. Now here's the embarrassing part...I used to deliver newspapers to THAT house before they tore it down! LOL! Thanks Nancy, that was the best one yet. Keep on giving us the difficult ones.
