'My 2 brothers and me in front of our grandparents house at 3 Kendall Lane (also 257 Bradford Street), their year-round home from 1930s until my grandmother's death in 1964. The sign represents my grandmother's real estate business. The 3 of us are listing license plates from different states as cars go by on Bradford St. Across the street, at the corner of Atkins-Mayo Rd., (19th-century wagon trail to the Atlantic shore) is the home of artist Herman Maril and his family. Reputedly the building was the Post Office from the Long Point settlement across the harbor in the mid-1800s. All buildings (about 40) from that settlement were floated across Provincetown Harbor and relocated, most in the West End. Pictured, from left to right: William L. Towler (age 9), Daniel V. Towler (age 7), and John S. Towler (age 4).'
