  Had a great tome as usual. It's a huge beuatiful home full of local history be longing to at one time give her Reuben Fenton.

  I was there years ago. Remember it slightly, but fondly. Looked at website today as I had some recollection (apparently faulty!) that Fenton Glass was somehow connected to Jamestown. I lived I Sherman from 1996 to 2012 when our 🏡 burnt down. We lived in Jtown for most of the remainder of 2012. Then back to Rochester, where we retain fond memories of our years in the Southern Tier.
