Catskills Vernacular Architecture Challenge #2

Even though no one has guessed the identity or location of Challenge #1, I'm posting Challenge #2 and leaving up Challenge #1.  The two residences represent two major house types in North American folk architecture.  You can identify either of the houses by saying who lives there, who used to live there, who has worked there, the house number and road name, or the GPS coordinates.  Just leave a message on my phone, 607-326-4206, or e-mail vscheer@juno.com.  If you are the first to identify either house your prize will be that I will dedicate a song to you on my next radio program. 


This week, on September 23, on Catskills Folk,  my guest will be Pat Cummings, secretary of the Catskill Mountain Quilters Hall of Fame.    She is the local organizer for their Quilt Show coming up on September 27 and 28  at the Roxbury Arts Group.  We'll learn the history of the Hall of Fame,  how quilts are chosen for the show, and how the Hall of Fame relates to local quilting groups. 


So cruise the "blue highways" of Delaware County watching for two challenge houses and send me your best guess!  And listen to Catskills Folk, Tuesday September 23 at 7 p.m. on WIOX 91.3 fm (and wioxradio.org) to hear about quilting right here in the Catskills.
