up (e Chestnut street and about

street (or, ns i few stubborn one
railed It even then, Geerge street)
sheltered the garden nnd protected It
from profane slnnren. What the garden
was like inside nnd what plnnts were
grown there Is net recorded, though
"m5 say they remember te have heard
the place wnn famed for it hollyhocks.

The heue nnd garden were bought
afterward (nt just the time when the

into the Wain house and it became
known as the Swnim mansion.

Though the Rwalm family lived en
Seventh street lone enough te become

and prcenth moved te them. Dr.
Swnim. heuctcr. rentlmied te maintain
