Cottage-Upon-Avon

A doe and her fawn eating our hydrangeas. Welcome to the world, little one!

The first owner of Cottage-Upon-Avon was Margaret Ely. At some point her husband Fred W. Ely was added to the title. When I searched through the Pittsburgh Post Gazette archives, I could not find ANY mention of "Margaret Ely," which surprised me because I had heard she was active in the community. It finally occurred to me to search for "Mrs. Fred W. Ely"... and BOOM. She is ALL over the Post Gazette with announcements concerning the DORMONT NEW CENTURY CLUB. The photographs attached are samples.

As usual, when we get ready to hand off a home to the next family, we want to do it right. So, while I'll spare you the pics of the sewer line repair, here are some pics of the new shrubs, trees, and bushes that Keith INSISTED we replace since the deer ate some of the others. This home is filled with love and history... and we are proud to have been a (short) part of that history.
