Description

If walls could talk the stories they would tell of this, the once known "Loud" house where villagers would gather to enjoy the end of the day with a tall one. A day of folly and terrorizing on the river from a British ship shooting cannon balls in 1814 ended the life of Captain William Reed outside on the lawn. Those days are gone and now remains the character of the home and the serenity of the private landscaped yard for you to enjoy and create your History.If walls could talk the stories they would tell of this, the once known "Loud" house where villagers would gather to enjoy the end of the day with a tall one.
