This little Cape Cod harkens back to a bygone era that was early Levittown. It was a time when a kid could jump on his bike and venture out fearlessly with nothing more on his youthful mind than perusing the streets for a friend or a game to join in.

Or he might end up at "the Green" for a candy bar or soda, knowing that everywhere he went he would be flanked by the comforting sight of those little houses. In each there was a family much like his.

This photo was taken last week by Dan Mercuri, class of 1968. The house can be found somewhere between Jerusalem Road and Schoolhouse Road.
