In 1932 I am sure that Montpelier was a bustling state capitol with many things happening.  There were many houses built around this year within the town even though it was during the great depression in the economy. As new houses were being built people were thinking about cars as they were just becoming affordable to the middle/upper class of society. The Empire State Building was in the process of being built and one of the famous black and whites of the workers sitting on a girder was just taken.  The assembly line concept was a major process of society in this day and everything from cars to houses were built in this style.  Rail cars shipped Sears Kit homes to towns and there were assembled right there via the part numbers on site. The auditor of My Left Foot was born with Cerebral Palsy and his mother believed that he was very intelligent despite what doctors said.   FDR ran for president and won b y a landslide (although VT was not a state he won in...) 

In Climbing history the first ascent of the lauper route on the North Face of the Eiger took place.  It took two days and was considered a fast and direct route.  In today's standards it can be done by superhuman athletes in about 2:45 for a speed record.

And I am writing all of this because Steph and I have finally found our house that we are moving into and close on tomorrow.  Our house is a colonial type revival and it was built in 1932.  I have been researching history and looking into things as I have my spare time.  Our first task is going to be the wallpaper in the master bedroom and getting down to a nice white wall with no paper.

Very Exciting....
