The story

Behind the sketch.

The Thompson–Leslie House was built around 1905, when Old Town was gaining a new generation of residences beside its older nineteenth-century cottages. Its name preserves two families associated with the property, while the house itself belongs to the era of broad porches, tall windows, and rooms designed to catch every available summer breeze.
