Under The Glass The world through my lenses

Tripple decker

Here is the house I lived in until the age of 8. This is a typical 3 decker found in the french hill neighborhood of Leominster. This particular one had 4 apartments, 2 small ones on the first floor and 1 each on the second and third floors. I often miss those days growing up on french hill. French hill ranged from first street to twelfth street and had Water, Spruce and Mechanic streets running the length of them as seen in the google map below. This whole area was our playground and we were outside from sunrise to sunset. I can't imagine how my parents handled it, knowing that we were safe but not knowing exactly where in the neighborhood we were. I can't imagine allowing my children that much free range in this day and age.
