2010-01-09 17:36:58 My sisters and I grew up in this house when my parents (Harold L. and Mary Hill) owned it! What a beatiful time it was. Sorry to seeing it falling apart now. But nothing last forever! I enjoyed looking at this site and going back in time to see this most memorable town! Thanks Lynda Hill Phillipson. —70.44.45.153

2010-01-09 22:35:46 I also was raised in the house by my Aunt Mary and uncle harold Hill. I also had 3 cousins who I lived with. I go back and look at it when I can and remember how great it was in the day. I can still remember my hiding place that I was always successful in using when I was in trouble.

2010-01-10 08:29:23 Great comments! Any chance either of you have old photos of the house or other Saranac Lake sites to share? And we'd be interested in more specifics on your family and their history in the village. If you're interested in sharing, drop us a line at <mail AT historicsaranaclake DOT org> or at Historic Saranac Lake, 89 Church Street, Saranac Lake, NY 12983. Take a look at Family Scrapbooks and Albums for examples of what we've got now. And remember, the world of your childhood may not seem much like "History" to you now, but fifty years from now it will definitely qualify! —Mwanner

2010-01-10 12:53:04 I believe that my parents were living there when I was born. Our grandmother Eva LaGrange Hill also lived with us. As my sister stated..."What wonderful memories we had." I sure would like to know where my cousin Richard Peck's hiding place was. I never could figure it out. Thank you for this wonderful memory. Lucille Hill Duprey —75.65.114.46
