イーストデニスで本格的に改装された本格的なビクトリア朝

The Moose House has been in the family for five generations. It was built in 1891 by an ancestress of the current owners and has been in the family ever since. It is a well-known house in Dennis and has twice been recognized by the Dennis Historical Society (most recently in June 2013) for its significance to the town and for the efforts the family has made to maintain and preserve the house as originally built.
While the house has been in the family for more than a century, most people identify the house with its last full-time resident, Gertrude Crowell (a relative of the founder of the town of Dennis back in 1639). "Geta," as she was known, was an 8th-grade teacher in the Dennis school district for many years and a resident of the town of Dennis for all of her 99 years.
We call the house “The Moose House” because that’s how it was known in the community for decades. For longer than anyone can remember, an impressive stuffed moose head was mounted on the dining room wall, the trophy of an ancestor's hunting trip to New Brunswick. Geta and her sister, Lydia, who also lived in the house for a time, collected all things moose-related and their collection was large and varied: moose-patterned plates, placemats, and towels, moose decorations for the walls, moose ornaments for their Christmas tree, and much more. Locals and relatives would come to the house to visit Geta, Lydia, and “Mr. Moose.” One curious child is said to have searched on the other side of the wall in the pantry “for the rest of the moose.” Mr. Moose (and most of the moose paraphernalia) is gone now—he now resides with a local antiquarian—but so strong and enduring is the association of this house with Geta and with the moose that we couldn’t imagine any other name to give our home but: “The Moose House.”
