CALL GINNY AT 607-326-3900 UNITL 6:55 PM TONIGHT, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7.
On Catskills Folk, last Tuesday, September 23, I announced the winners of the first two Catskills Vernacular Architecture Challenges. Jane Piasek identified the two story white house with light green shutters as the Hubbell residence, next to Hubbell Inc. on Route 30 between Roxbury and Margaretville. Alan Reynolds correctly identified the yellow and white Greek Revival house just south of Roxbury on Route 30 as Madalyn Warren's farmhouse. Both Jane and Alan had songs dedicated to them during my radio show.
This week's challenge is a little further afield, but still on a main state route in Delaware County. You may recognize the building's style as "Victorian" and appreciate the well tended and landscaped shrubbery. Clue: this house often has a table out front offering homemade jams for sale.y
I hope you can join me for the next edition of Catskills Folk on Tuesday, October 7 at 7 p. m. on WIOX when I hope to award the winner of the third challenge and talk some more about Catskills folk (aka vernacular) architecture. Meanwhile, keep a sharp eye out for that beautiful Victorian residence! The contact information below is usually the best way to register your entry to identify the architecture challenge, TONIGHT call Ginny at WIOX right up to show time at 6:55 pm at 607-326-3900.
