At 150 Edgars Lane, Changing the Idea of Home
The New York Times

The handsome Tudor-style home at 150 Edgars Lane, built for
less than $10,000 in 1925 on a hillside in this Hudson River town,
never seemed to change much through all of its previous owners.
Each family updated the house, but in modest ways until Tom and
Julie Hirschfeld came along. ..."Community is still very important,"
said William M. Rohe, director of the Center for Urban and Regional
Studies (CURS) at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
"But homeowners today pay greater attention to the house itself as
an expression of themselves and as a haven for family life."
