A Jeroboam of gratitude to Todd Goff (@toddgoff), who discovered this historic panorama portraying Rosslyn's dock house in the early to mid 1900s. Can anybody answer the mystery ID question at the end of the post? ☞ View the full post of “Rosslyn Dock House & Crystal Spring Farm" at link in bio (or enter rosslynredux.com/rosslyn-dock-house-crystal-spring-farm in your browser.)

“I’ve found a picture in my collection from roughly 1989 showing a clearly new roof.” — Jason McNulty ☞ NB: Spectacular cinematic photograph of Rosslyn’s boathouse contributed by previous owners’ youngest son, Jason McNulty. I’ve taken the liberty of tweaking the levels, etc. to enhance visibility of the details.

Rosslyn boathouse / dock house (circa 1920) is the focus of this vintage postcard that I successfully won (Hurrah!) at auction after a parade of lost auctions. Once again bidding soared into the stratosphere, but this time I stayed in until the bitter end. (Heck, the photo is of our much loved boathouse, after all!) Actually, let’s revise that to *bittersweet* end because at just north of $1.5k I finally edged out the competition. It was an expensive victory, but I won! A vertiginous struggle until the last grain of sand tumbled through the hourglass, but at last this century old snapshot is back at Rosslyn, reunited with the sultry subject. I rest easier this morning celebrating another small victory while acknowledging that the demand for Rosslyn artifacts and historic Essex artifacts is increasing steadily and the values are rising mounting, mounting, mounting,… But why? What’s driving this mysterious upswing? Any ideas? Speculation blog post coming soon. #historicboathouse #essexny #boathouse #essexnewyork #dockhouse #lakechamplain #historichomes #lacchamplain #mysterious #artofhome #anyideas #crowdsourcing #triviachallenge #littlehelp #auctionwin #vintagephoto #vintagephotography #vintagepostcard (at Essex, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChMzRy9OpKW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
