Barr Cottage Had Vault, First Built To House Books, That 2 Bulldozers Failed To Budge The old Barr cottage on the Highlands Community hospital site on Fifth street has been torn down and moved elsewhere. This story, however, concerns the cottage's huge concrete vault so heavy and so well anchored to its foundation that WINDOWS DOORS ROOFING (galvanized, in 10 ft lengths and asphalt shingles) DILLARD BUILDERS SUPPLY ON EAST MAIN STREET two bulldozers could not budge it; it had to be twice dyna mited before it could finally be moved from the premises. The vault was Highlands' first piece of concrete .work and was built in 1905 by the late Prof. T. G. Harbison, noted botanist, for his botanist friend, William Lounsbury Sherwood, New York business man and 'nephew of Connecticut's one time governor Lounsbury, who purchased the house from the Barrs. Mr. Sher wood owned a library of rare botanical books which he and Mr. Harbison prized so highly that their protection from High land's changeable climate lead to the building of the vault, a vaulte mouse-proof as well as weather-proof. Later, when the house was sold to Miss Eva G. Cleaveland for the use of a member of her family, the vault was again brought into use, this time as a sort of frigidaire for storing foodstuffs against heat and cold, and in this capacity it had continued to serve down through the years. A vault of such dimensions in a private home caused the rumor that it was Highland's first bank. Mrs. Gilbert Delegate To Diocetan Convention Mrs. E. R.
