This week's "Turnback Tuesday" features a photo of Andrew Johnson's house.
It was built in 1798 on the corner of Bank and Gilbert Streets. The house was dismantled in 1928 and supposedly relocated to Westchester County, N.Y.
Johnson was one of Truman Gilbert's business partners, who had established Derby's first lumber yard. Johnson was born in April of 1765, but details of his death are unknown.
