Poole House, Circa 1905, Warwick

Kyle Basko notes that this was built by David and Annie Poole around 1905. Ceceille Durant Poole adds: This was my father-in-law, Jim Poole’s, childhood home. He was the 10th of 12 children (two died as infants). His father, David owned the only grocery store in town and his youngest brother, Harry Poole, was the Mayor of Warwick for many years in the 1960s and 1970s. When we used to visit the house it was painted white. Many great family times and stories live in this stately home.

    My brother and I grew up in the house behind this house. Mr Harry Poole was still alive then and lived in this house. He was the mayor. We loved to imagine that this house was haunted for some reason lol we we’re kids 🤷🏻‍♀️

      Mrs Eula (my grandmother) lived in a small house behind this house. Her my grandfather George and my mother Dorothy lived behind it. I remember Harry living in it.
