Comments and Context
In Charles C. Myers’s own words, “This house is well preserved and is somewhat of a curiosity shop to visitors. 25¢ admission is charged and this fund goes toward keeping and maintaining the place. This is the first little room when you enter the place, and many souvenirs and cards are kept here for sale as well as the book, ‘The House Of Seven Gables.'”
