No. 7 Gardner Place Thatchers preserve charm of old home
The Thatcher family marks two years in the large Gardner Place house built in 1917 for Robert Gardner. They kept the home’s traditional style with no major changes, showcasing 7000 square feet of draperies, made by Mrs. Gardner, and the energy-efficient details like weather stripping. Janet and Perry describe life in the three-story 5000-square-foot home atop two acres overlooking Gardner Park with rooms to suit every season and a buzzer system for a maid.
