Why they chose this property
This fine example of a classic 2 story frame Queen Anne Victorian home was built in 1889 and sits on what was part of the Boat Yard owned by Hull Anderson a liberated slave who purchased his freedom and ran a successful boat yard on this site from 1830 to 1841. I 1889 Frank and Jesse Bowers built this house and the corner house next door. When the land was subsequently subdivided the lot line also divided the Carriage house which can still be seen to this day with the Groom's quarters on one side and the Carriage room and stables on the other side. Dr Swindell in 1923 purchased the house in 1923 and lived here until 1969. Dr Swindell ran both the Riverview and Fowle Memorial Hospitals from 1919 to 1958
