many thanks to Ann Briggs for passing the word to Phil Winter that the façade restoration project was in need of period images.  he came for a visit this evening, having dipped into his treasure trove of old Grove photos for this priceless gem, which he dates to around 1905. 

and a quick correction to yesterday's photo, which we estimated at
the 1900s but which he places in the 1920s.

this is the first time we've seen an image of the North side of the house, and it's interesting to see that it was already on multiple levels sloping down from the Circle to Pine Avenue (this block of which is now considered as part of Grove Road).  there's a wealth of detail which will do a great deal to aid the cause.
