L. J. Powers Estate
The picture of 116 Pearl Street, the home of Lewis J Powers, sent chills down my spine. My paternal grandfather, Walter Clayton Fogg, worked for Lewis Powers for about 15 years. The last 2 years he worked for Frank Powers as a chauffeur, who resided at 122 Pearl Street. My grandfather, while walking to work one evening, was hit by a car in front of the 116 Pearl Street address and died about 2 weeks later at Springield Hospital. I was stunned to see your picture of the very house he worked in and was fatally injured in front of. Is it possible that I could obtain a digital copy of the original picture?
Pearl street mansion. (Nevens Estate).
Is the LJ Powers estate the Nevens Estate? If not, is there a picture of the Nevens Estate?
