Note:There are notes in Tula's hand about the "Robert Thornton House" built by Dr. Carroll in 1907 on Woods at North Street, including an undated photograph. This includes a detailed history of the house that was prepared by Tula for the Historic Commission, but was apparently never approved for a marker.
