Dating to before 1860, this house was also built in the Loggia style. Notice the gallery created by the extension of the upper floor, the door with panels on the right wall, and the entryway on the gable wall. The house has sheltered many families over the years, including Henry Lowry and his wife, Cora Pope, whose son Chilston Lowry, who still lives in Eaton Corner, has been a woodsman all his life. The Lowrys were a very musical family, with fiddlers, piano players, harmonica players, and accordionists among them. Before the Lowry family, Mr and Mrs. Henry Winslow lived in the house. Mrs. Winslow was a wonderful cook and was known as the 'woman who cooked for her own funeral' because the day before her sudden death she had made a large number of pies, cakes, cookies and rolls. Her mourners enjoyed her cooking one last time at the lunch served after her burial. (Photo - CCHMS)
