?

!At the end of the article about Montpelier homes in the

May/June 2015 newsletter, the following was asked:

...some may know this but many don’t – while it may

appear that each street has a mix of the models and vari-

ations on them, there is one street in Montpelier that

doesn’t. Which street does not have the Jamestown model

on it?

The answer is……. Crystal Rock Lane! Although there is a

Jamestown that sits at the corner of Crystal Rock and

Oxwell Lanes, it is on Oxwell Lane, not Crystal Rock. As a

result, there are no Jamestown’s located on Crystal Rock

Lane!

DID YO U KNOW THAT…?
