From the 'Turnback Tuesday' archives: Sanford family home in Derby


"Turnback Tuesday" is checking out the Sanford family Rambling Structure Home, built in 1836 and located on the corner of 4th and Caroline Streets. 

This photo was taken circa 1962. Note the great cars parked in front. The white car on the left is a 1958 Mercury, in the center is a 1953 Buick, and on the right is an early 1960’s Dodge or Plymouth.
