[Music]
I am Troy Clarkson it is Friday May 20th
2022 and
this visit is with Valerie Harding
so welcome Valerie today we're going to
talk about some of the history of
Falmouth Heights and just before the
camera came on you and I were
well you were sharing stories
about that rich history so let's let's
actually start
with that there are so many roads within
Falmouth Heights
that are familiar to people
but you know the history behind some of
those names so for instance
when I was first married my wife and I
lived
in a rented apartment on Jericho Path
where there are condos now before that
they were apartments before that they
were tennis courts oh yes just before
what we used to call the “wee bump”
where
that hill went over and you could if you
drove fast enough you could get your car
airborne uh I so I’ve heard well
you'd always ask your parents
especially your father to drive really
fast right so tell us though in that
immediate area I mean Falmouth Heights
has a history as the first planned uh
summer resort community but it's so much
more than that well long before it was

developed as a summer resort in 1880 by
a man from Worcester
actually a consortium of men from
Worcester
before that in back in the 1700s and the
late 1700s
it was considered a very remote part of
Falmouth
and Jericho Path the name always
interested me because I grew up on
Johnson Road and you know
why was it called Jericho Path well
after doing research to come to find out the
inhabitants of Falmouth from the late
1600s to the 1700s when they had large
dead animals they couldn't bury them off
Main Street
so they would take them up to what they
called Jericho which was the hill on the
Heights and they would car- I guess drag
them up there and leave them there so
that was
it was called Jericho on the Heights
hill and it became Jericho Path
and I since have heard from
actually someone whose father was an
excavator in Falmouth that sometimes
when he would dig foundations he would
find bones of large animals up there
they the kids thought they were dinosaur
bones but they were probably
horse and cow
but the other thing is in that same
vicinity is Lake Leaman Road
when they developed
Worcester Court
and Grand Avenue

they also
laid out other roads Worcester Court was
where I ended up in high school

and that was in 1959 and there were
still dirt roads down there
and Worcester Court
intersects with Lake Leaman Road well
where was Lake Leaman they decided to

change the name of Little Pond to Lake
Leaman
and it remained so for probably about 20
years until the local townspeople
decided to change the name
back to Little Pond which is where you
which is where the tennis courts were
right yes and uh
and so I’ve got lots of connections in
that part of town we moved here to
Falmouth when I was four
but before that my grandparents had a
had a home it was a summer home and
then
they moved here full time on Hudson
Street okay right in that area all right
there was nothing there it was all woods
we kids used to play in there lots of
skinny little dirt roads and in fact
Worcester Court
where Lake Leaman and Worcester Court
intersect
and Worcester Court is now well we
called it Worcester Court Extension
which goes down behind the plaza that
was all dirt roads right down to the
cranberry bog which is the Falmouth Mall
so they were just little dirt roads even
back in the early 60s
so let's talk about that a little bit
then because I uh
as we sit here in May of 2022 that
former cranberry bog Falmouth Mall
property just sold
to a developer I read in the paper for
59 million dollars so tell us share with
us your memories of that tract of land
and how it unfolded okay so if you go

down Teaticket Highway
right where the bank is across the
street from CVS
that was Hazelton’s junkyard
and the Hazeltons later moved their
junkyard to Gifford Street which is
where the storage units are
just beyond the Little League field and
all but that was a junkyard and it was
downhill down to the Walmart area was
all junk cars and everything else
as kids we used to ride our bikes
down the dirt road which was - became
Worcester Court
when the bog froze and
we used to put our skates on and run
across the dirt and jump over the ditch
and skate on the bog our parents weren't
too worried because it was a bog and how
far can you fall in a frozen bog
Little Pond we also skated on that used
to freeze over and there were a lot of
bonfires and there weren't many there
weren't any houses down on Miami Ave.
one or two
actually my father bought a lot of
land down there but my mother wouldn't
build a house down there because it was
too deep into the woods
imagine that too deep into the woods
right in Falmouth Heights yeah
now a beautiful
year-round residential area and imagine
being on the water on Miami Ave you
know
right on Little Pond there right near
the beaches and yeah
so um and
from Jericho Path
down to Falmouth Heights Beach
in the winters it was
it was like a ghost town there was no
light no lights on in houses or anything
like that there were no lights on
all the homes were dark

because they were all summer homes they
were not insulated they were
pretty much just large cottages
in the winter we used to go down and
sled on Heights Hill but
when we would sled on Heights Hill we
would sled down Grand Avenue
because no cars traveled there and
sometimes they plowed it sometimes they
didn't
and then we would sled across the street
right through
the casino

and out onto the beach
now uh I’ve had the chance to do
several of these interviews over the
last couple of years and
and then through the work that I do with
my column
uh talk a lot about the history of that
area so
my uncle Henry
who was a pediatrician in Brockton had a
summer home right there in fact
on the corner
on the ball field that was that was his home

he then ironically sold it to the Stone
family and of course
decades later Phil Stone became my
stepdad right so okay yes I remember
Dickie Stone and his brother living
there but the predecessor to the Cape
Cod Baseball League used to play games
at that Heights field do you have any
recollections of that no I grew up in a
family of three girls and we really

weren't into those ball games or
anything
what I really have strong recollections
about are the large hotels
they were still the old wooden hotels
with the turrets
and you know on the corner of Worcester
Court was the Park Beach Hotel of course

it was really
the type of resort area that families
came to from the city
and on the train and then they would
stay for a week or two
in those hotels
well in the winter when those hotels
were closed up
as kids you'd run across the veranda
and it looked
very ghostly inside with the table still
set up
you know with salt and pepper still on
the table and
it was kind of creepy
because there you also got home before
dark because there was as I say there
was not a light on in any house down
there and
that was from
Jericho Path up and also
we had a little tiny post office for

Falmouth Heights that was only open in
the summer and where was that
that was
I can't think of the name of the motel
but it is still there I think it's
called the Heights Motel actually
#heightsmotel
and it's just before you hit Grand
Avenue coming up Heights Road right oh
sure yeah yeah and on the other side of
it there was a little donut shop that's
where I had my first job
but that building also you know these
these buildings even these um big summer
homes they didn't have any
sheetrock or anything they just had the
studding
and the wooden walls
and you the wires ran up the wooden
walls the electricity it was
pretty unsafe but they were all built
that way right you know even if you went
to visit someone you knew who was living
I knew a couple of people who lived
right on the right on the height of
Heights Hill
right on the facing the ocean with the
ocean view
and those cottages were
pretty rustic so um
they were built
pretty rustic that way and of course
they um
were from
in the beginning they the men who
were the business group they sold mostly
to families from Worcester
as in Menauhant the man who developed
#menauhant
that
sold mostly to families from Attleboro
really yeah I didn't know that isn't
that interesting yes so
um
and in in Menauhant they had a Menauhant #menauhanthotel
Hotel

and they sold the property
you know surrounding the hotel
eventually to people who came and stayed
in the hotel and then decided to build
their summer cottages which those
cottages at the foot of
Central Avenue are kind of similar you
know Victorian looking
but they were roughly
the outside looked nice but inside it
was very rough living but they liked
that back then in the 1880s you were
going to stay in your summer camp right
right and some of those families both in
the Heights
and the Menauhant area are still
there yes have been coming for
generations yes yeah
and of course up on the Heights hill
they had a the small chapel

and it eventually became an observatory
and right around the circle
that's why there's still Chapel Ave. up
there there was a chapel there and
that little area there which is so
interesting to me because it's
very much like Oak Bluffs
the little cottages yes with the
gingerbread houses that's funny you
should say that let's talk about that
for a second because a lot of people I
know
come here or live here for years and
never
get to that area because you know you go
to the Heights and the beach in the
restaurants there
but the area we're talking about is

tucked away it is up high yes but you
have to sort of know how to get there to
get there even though it's right there
right exactly and I think it's it was
that style of building because they had
Methodist camp meetings that's how Oak
Bluffs started
and that's how the that area
started up in the Heights and also a
tiny bit of Menauhant started the same way
that's why they built Grace Chapel over
there
so um you know the architecture it's
very interesting to look at it because
it was popular at the time to build your
little summer camp and have everybody
come down to a revival
you know Methodist meeting and
I just find that so interesting you know and
I don't know if you remember but Mr.
Craig who was a teacher when I was in
school he probably retired shortly after
I left high school but his family owned
the Craig House which was a big hotel

which was up there
was later bought by
two guidance counselors in Falmouth I’m
trying to think uh Mr. Wasseth and um
who you probably remember sure Paul
#paulwasseth
Wasseth right
I think he was an employee of Mr. Craig’s
and eventually he and his family
bought the Craig Hotel which is gone now
but I sometimes drive up that
little hill there
and around Chapel Ave. and wonder where
they tucked a hotel up there
but by the same token right
not one tiny little block in front of it
was the was the Terrace Gables

that hotel and then
just down the hill was the Tower
House Hotel
and then you had the Park Beach Hotel
you think about right there on basically
Heights Hill and just down at the foot
of it were so many hotels
in that amazing and then
adjacent
to what was
the Tower House Hotel people today
would recognize is that expansive open
space we call the kite field
yes and that's an interesting story
that um
when the Tower House Hotel was sold
well let me back up
the kite field used to be tennis courts
Mr. Tower of the Tower House he built the
tennis courts there and uh
eventually in the late 60s his family
sold the hotel
and it they were selling it to the
timeshare people
and the timeshare wanted to
uh put a whole lot of buildings there
you know little
share buildings
and a lot of people objected who lived
in the area they objected the homeowners
objected because their view was going to
be displaced
and they won out I think they took them
to court and so the Tower family
left it to the town as open space in
perpetuity
and that's how it became the kite field
and today I think lots of folks
don't even know that that's public
property I think you're right and
available for public enjoyment
and passive
recreation but you know what's funny as
we talk about these things I
have vivid memories of my own

childhood in that area
and I think
instinctively it's
20 years ago but it it's 50 years ago
and so the ability for us to have these
conversations and preserve that history
so that future generations can
understand and learn
what those landmarks are and what
they meant and how they developed is
really important I think it is too
Worcester Court with the open space that
runs down the length of Worcester Court
was drawn out that way by the by those
developers from Worcester
which to me is so interesting that they
had the foresight to you know lay out
just that little strip of grass but it
runs all the way down what three or four
blocks yes and um you know it kind of
opens up everything in that area
it really does and it and because it's
now public property it always will and
so it would be some green space
in the middle of what's pretty densely
residential property yes and actually
when the Heights was developed
and not down by the water I mean the back
what I call the back end of that area
which was Johnson Road Holland Road
Hudson Street Raymond Street
that was after World War II when so many
soldiers were coming back to Falmouth
and there was no housing
and the soldiers when they came back to
Falmouth they at first lived in the
World War I
soldier housing which was over where the
Windfall Market is now
just beyond the Windfall Market and um
it was pretty decrepit but that's where
they lived you know it was built for
World War I returning veterans
and um so
of course there was a building boom to

build for all these young soldiers and
their families
and along Heights Road also were the
first houses that were built and because
that really was
not developed yet and um
you know around the Robbins Road area
you know in the corner of Jericho Path
that if you go up a little bit they were
all modest Cape homes that were built
along that area
and we're just beginning to see some of
those homes being turned over into
larger homes
you know um and uh but right after World
War I into the early
60s they were just little Cape homes
which is what they built I remember my
parents bought their house on uh
Johnson Road and paid seven hundred and
fifty dollars I’m sorry seven thousand
five hundred imagine that yeah
ten uh not even ten a hundred times that
today oh it's amazing yeah and then we
moved we built another house on
Worcester Court but
again that was all woods beyond there
Raymond Street Hudson Street and all of
those
so it's so interesting that that area
was considered so far out of town
you know and
Falmouth kind of ended
you know right there at Heights Corner
right you know
it seemed out of town you you'd uh tell
someone where you lived and they'd be
like really
so that uh
we're nearing the end of our time
together but that when you mentioned
the Heights Corner at the beginning and
now towards the end uh
I remember that building on the corner
uh as a Howard Johnson it was when I was

a kid
I don't and then of course
it was Jack in the Beanstalk
that
was the first Jack in the Beanstalk I
think and it's moved around
to several spots since and been a bank
for many years but do you remember
anything there before Howard Johnson I
don't but across the street where the
Driftwood Plaza is
was nothing but marshland and they
filled it in a little bit that's why
that corner always floods it's very low
marshy area from Morse Pond it flows
over there and there's a culvert
underneath
but that was where Mr. Limberakis had
his first Clam Shack after the war and
he you didn't eat inside he just had a
couple of picnic tables and he was only
open in the summer and you went to a
window
and you ordered there and then of course
Davis Straits was just two farms on
either side of the Davis family
and across the street where Staples is now
was just a farmhouse and
big fields and a couple of times the
circus came to town and put up tents there
yeah it's crazy really that that when I
say Falmouth ended there it did
Falmouth center right then of course we
had Teaticket which was a separate
village
you know and they were their own little
village with a village market and
uh you know
post office they had their post office
their village market and there was a farm
actually there was a farm right where
Burger King is a very large farm and
farmhouse and that farm went way down to
the cranberry bog in the mall where the
mall is today

so it was very rural
yes and agricultural as well and so
that's wonderful well thank you for
painting that wonderful
picture for us I uh as I leave here
today and drive down there I’ll
have a wonderful
landscaping I have one other tidbit
to give you because I do like the
little hidden secrets
the Heights hill was used by Dr.
Donaldson
back in the late 1700s for a smallpox
hospital as was
Nobska because both places were so far
out of town
and he was he had studied in England and
he had brought back smallpox vaccine and
he was vaccinating people and they did not
believe in it the local townspeople so
he vaccinated his own children and took
them out there
so that he could prove that it was safe
isn't that fascinating
Dr. Donaldson lived in the house where
Harriet Dugan has her real estate office
that was his farm at the foot of Nye Road
but you think the Heights is so
such a
smart little area now but it was once
considered
so offbeat we had a contagious hospital
out there
wow remote in those days and really part
of the heart of the community today
absolutely
well speaking of that being the heart of
the community I think that's a good way
to conclude thank you for sharing all of
those wonderful stories and those happy
memories that are in your heart and
sharing them with us so that future
generations can paint those same lovely
pictures
Valerie thank you so much
