Our Olde House: Introduction

by: Gerald Kerner

Miss Sherry and I live in a circa 1863 house in Olde Towne, Clinton.  Our house has had at least two major extensions and several interior rearrangements during the past 158 years.  As we are taking our turn at caring for this part of Clinton’s history, we have learned to accept that there are no simple fixes to anything that needs attention or updating, and that whoever last fixed what we are fixing again did their best with what they had at the time; judge not, lest ye be judged.
