Winfred (aka “Fred” or Grandpa Cummings) and his wife Iva lived here (Plymouth, NH) with their children, Doris and Winfred H. Jr (AKA “Bud”), until their deaths. Over the years from 1901-1940, the farm gradually decreased in size. Winfred and Iva supplemented income by opening the ìOld Homestead Antiquesî shop in the house and a single-pump filling station across the street, where they sold hot dogs, ice cream, snacks and, of course, gasoline, to passing travelers along this tourist and trucking route. It seems that the house ceased to be occupied by family after 1960 and that it may well have been vacant for some years before being sold to the first owner outside of the original family who purchased and renovated it extensively, and, later to Mrs. Janene Davis who converted it to a B & B in 1979.
