'Turnback Tuesday' features Derby mansion with an interesting history

This week's "Turnback Tuesday" looks at the Singer/Yudkin Mansion in Derby. 

Built in 1927 by Walter Randall & Olive Whitlock Randall on 200 acres of farmland, this impressive stone structure is over 4,000 square feet with five fireplaces. 

Olive’s grandfather, Isaac Merrit Singer, was the inventor of the first practical sewing machine for home use. If you look at the chimney tops, they are decorated with spools of thread. (Photo courtesy of Marian O’Keefe)

Thanks go to the Derby Public Library for sharing interesting local history.
