I used to live in Frank’s house. It was a fun place to grow up!

I have a “tin type” ( I think ) photo of two men, standing, on a rock outcrop over a fast moving river. There appears to be central-eastern mountain terrain with a bridge or train trellis in the far background. The men are dressed in up-scale, mid to late 1800′s narrow lapel jackets with vests, Bollas, and knee high riding boots. They have mustaches and appear to be related. One is older and taller. I wonder if this could be Frank and Jesse. I have seen photos of the brothers, but never with just mustaches. Could this river be near Clinton ?

I lived in Franks house back in early 80′s as a child. My father was a contractor and renovated most of the house as original. They traded the house to a local Family from clinton who did not like all the historic and many original lighting fixtures,so my father offered to swap them out with the discount lights out of their house and he probably still has many of the original items from the house. Jesse’ house was in fairly poor shape at that time but looks to be nice now.

I love that this blog is here. I’m from Clinton, and have actually been past these places many times…and decided for a poetry class to write something about the history of Clinton. Great stuff.

I agree. They are both private homes still today. I’m glad the current owners are maintaining the properties.

Don’t know what they looked like back in their day, but they’re beautiful properties today.
