and gave what assistance they could
in taking out household articles. It
was early seen that the old house was
doomed. *
The house stood on land at one
time owned by Yale College and was
sometimes called “College Farm.”
When it was purchased by the Torreys
the money received was the first en

opposite side of the road and was not
burned although several times ^it was J
threatened by flying embers and
sparks. The occupants of the house
lave been temporarily taken in to the
homes of neighbors.
