39 The Terrace, Plandome Long Island

Yesterday, I posted a poem by Cornelia Ferguson.  Today I continued digging through the tinbox where I found the poem and I came across some more Ferguson family items.  I found a picture of an awesome house that was annotated "Ferguson House- 39 The Terrace Plandome L.I."  This house belonged to Cornelia's parents, Harry Maxwell Ferguson and Helen Josephine Bozeman who were married in 1930.

It's times like these I really appreciate people who take the time to write on the back of photographs!







I decided to Google the address.  Imagine my surprise when I came across the house on Zillow and that it had sold in 2011 for $2,450,000!!  Wow.

Fairies - A Poem by Cornelia Ferguson ca 1944

Fairies by Cornelia Ferguson
ca. 1944

Fairies
Under my window is a flower Bed
Made of roses bright and red.
Over the wall with the greatest of ease
Floats a carriage drawn by bees.
As I look down I see them there-
Two little fairies, stars in their hair,
Then a gust of wind comes by
And carries them back into the sky.
