The Hartman estate in Fallsington saw a major change in the mid-1940s, as the original home was sold, and the former barn was converted into a fantastic home - that is maintained as a separate and remarkable property to this day. This 9-minute film shows Hartman family memories in the construction of the barn-to-home conversion, the move, and some early video once the home was completed c. 1947-48.
A notable appearance at the end of the film includes Dr. Fred Gladstone Bratton (1876-1976), best known for his work as an author, archaeologist, and biblical historian as a professor at Springfield College in Springfield, MA. Dr. Bratton was also Pastor of the Agawam Congregational Church in Springfield. (Dr. Bratton is the gentleman observed attempting the art of using his utensils at the dinner table while wearing boxing gloves.)
