The "Beehive"
While reading the notes on the photos in the New Ipswich Historical Society, I kept finding references to the "Beehive" or the "Beehive House". It was such an odd name.
In the Hazel E. Balch album I found a cyanotype that she had captioned "The Beehive". I assume that the "Beehive" name refers to the unusual porch design. It matches the second photo which was the Charles H. Balcom Homestead (Willowbrook Farm). It was thought to be torn down in 1912. The barn was torn down in 1914.
