Harding Homes and Wharf (HOM.10)
Photos of Hiram and Ralph Harding’s homes on Harding Lane and their wharf
The family homes of Hiram, Frank and Ralph Harding on Harding Lane.
The house on the left on Harding Lane belonged to Frank and Cora Harding. Their son Ralph (1897-1960) had the home on the right and Frank’s father Hiram lived in the house near the shore that can be seen in the center of the photo. Ralph married Marion Farnsworth Wardwell in 1924 and ran a garage on Reach Road. Ralph’s house has been torn down but Frank and Cora’s home is being beautifully restored by Pat Egan.
