"Red Roof" and "Red Roof Redux"

Christopher Lewis submits-

JOEY:

Two photos attached. The first is "Red Roof" on Eastern Point taken from the "Ardelle in 2012." This was the home of A. Piatt Andrew – for whom the Route 128 bridge is named. He was an under secretary of the Treasury. Red Roof  was demolished on December 14, 2012. The second photo is of "Red Roof Redux,"  the new house, taken from the "Thomas Lannon" on Sunday. The wing to the left and the stone work in front of the house were retained.
