Turnback Tuesday visits the home located at 9 Seymour Ave., Derby (very large house on right.) Jane DeForest Shelton lived here from 1895-1913, according to the City Directories.
She wrote the book “The Salt Box House” published in 1900. Derby Public Library has a copy of this book to borrow.
Photo was taken from Elizabeth Street looking at Seymour Avenue.
Irving School is located where the house once was.
Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
