They've turned what was once Railroad Avenue into a small park that commemorates where the old Roscoe House hotel once stood. I think it was torn down before I was born but my brother remembers it. The Dudley's house was next to the hotel. A few houses down was the Jones' house where my great grandparents and grandmother Elizabeth lived and where my father came to live as a teen. The park is now a shady stretch that runs alongside of the Willowemoc River. I walked and then stood where I thought the end of the Jones' property had been. The view of the Willowemoc had not changed.

see the back of the main building and an extension
of the Roscoe House.
