Description
“The original tenement “House in the Woods” burned down and the second “House in the Woods” was built in 1939 by Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s WPA. The new “House in the Woods” was made of logs with two large open fireplaces.”
“When the “House in the Woods” was removed in 1968 it was situated near the Farber Health Center. It was torn down unsentimentally to make room for Langdale…”
