Skilled Pair Rebuild Original Dorset Stonewall
Dorset craftsmen Merwin Prouty and Floyd Wade rebuilt a 150 foot 36 inch wide dry stone wall for Harold Gates on West Road. The wall uses no cement, relies on fitted stones and balance, rises to 40 inches in low spots and 20 inches in high spots, and includes two square raised entrances with round head stones. The repair is noted as the first in 60 years and preserves a century old labor of Yankee thrift.
