History is a pattern of our past, changes or distroying our history alters our future
because there is nothing to represent how things were done.
Early 1900's Al Caggiano lived in the house known as the Board & Bath house.
In the 50's Mr. " Pap" Abbey laid claim to the house and cleaned the grounds and started what was to become an extensive orchard.
His daughter and her husband moved into the house with their two boys. But since the time of Pap the house has been known as "The Abbey House".
The Abbey house is positioned on Forest Service land. It is in ruins, much work would be needed to bring it back to it's glory. But it still holds part of the past for the town of
Crown King. Destroying the house that sits in the pines away from town would be a shame. Leave our history so that the patterns don't get lost...
Let nature take it course so that it my be there for a few more generations to see,
Let it be...
Nice piece of history about a little know structure. Thanks for keeping it alive though your writing and images, Tabby.
