One of the houses I visited in Deerfield. This home was originally owned by a doctor who painted it this shade of blue. Built in 1747, the Wells-Thorn House presents period rooms depicting the lifestyle of Deerfield residents in a progression from the early days of 1725 all the way up to the high-style of the 1850s. It is furnished to illustrate the development of the agricultural economy, domestic life, and refinement in the Connecticut Valley. The earliest rooms of the Wells-Thorn House show life in Deerfield during the frontier period. Later period rooms in the house reflect the increased availability of consumer goods and the growing prosperity and sophistication of Deerfield’s residents.

As an editorial note, the pigments used to make blue paints were quite expensive then and therefore made this paint a real symbol of status.

The What has been banned.

Site policy says that a member can have his/her membership re-instated if they have not been banned. What left on his own and has requested to return. Does the community prefer he be banned?

Yes or No.

Step right up to see the greatest show on earth, folks!

OK, here's an OT that should act just like any other public group for people who are logged in.

People who are not logged in can read the main posts, but cannot see any comments or images.

In adding the functionality, I am making no statement regarding if the OT or the site as a while should be public, private, limited, members only, require initiation, or any thing else.
