The record — long form
Rosedown is the '34 — the 'six months' that's the built, the '$13,109' that's the cost. The 'Martha' is the gardens — the '28 acres' that's the diary, the '450 enslaved' that's the labor. The 'honeymoon' is the name — the 'play' that's the saw, the 'Turnbull' that's the richest.
The '660-foot' is the oak — the 'allee' that's the approach, the 'Greek temple' that's the doctor's. The 'Bowman' is the daughters — the '10 children' that's the raised, the '1930s' that's the tours. Rosedown is the restored — the 'Underwood' that's the '58, the '371 acres' that's the left.
The file keeps Rosedown: the 1834 house, the Martha gardens, the 450 enslaved, and the 660-foot oak.
