Correction! It's Fitz Henry Lane

Sarah Dunlap, the Co-Chair of the Gloucester Archives Committee kindly pointed out that I had a brain-lapse and mistakenly called the famed artist Fitz Hugh Lane when in fact his middle name is Henry.

This brings me to another point:  the man changed his name from Nathaniel Rogers Lane in 1829. 

There is a terrific website created by the Cape Ann Museum about him and his amazing artwork:

As I mentioned yesterday, his home was preserved during the urban renewal of the 1960's.
