Rochester architects Chris Brandt and Craig Jensen contacted Peggi through her Don Hershey website and arranged to meet here yesterday afternoon to talk Hershey. We woke up without heat. The small motor that opens the flap on our furnace flu burnt out so the boiler had gone into rest mode. Wayne Heid rescued us hours before the meeting.
The architects brought Cynthia Howe from the Landmark Society along as well and we stood around the table talking about homes that we all suspect may be Hersheys. He designed 300 some houses in this area and some of them are really tucked away. It was a delightful three hours spent ping ponging around town on cell phone maps as we pooled our knowledge. Cynthia pushed Peggi to write a book on Hershey. Peggi has a spread sheet of confirmed Hersheys that she continues to add to and someday it will all be on the site. Craig bought a stack of photos that he bought from Dick Storms after Dick scooped them up at Don Hershey’s house when the architect died and the kitchen shot above was in there.
