Newland House Boy's Room
In the boy's bedroom the three Newland boys
slept in a single bed, but as they got older, a small bunk house
was built behind the water tower, where the 1984 barn stands
today.
The Huntington Beach Historical Society at one
time had a Country Store inside this room, but it has been turned
back into the boy's bedroom.
There is a black and white picture of Clint
Newland in a glider just below the clock on the shelf and in
it shows Clinton Newland ready to take off on his flying machine.
A neighbor boy and he built and glided on the Newland property
in 1910.
The rocking chair and dresser in this room belonged
to a Newland son and on this dresser is a real dollar bill that
the Newland's could have spent (note how big it is). A Stevens
22-cal single shot rifle is in this room, leaning against the
window, and the boys would have had one just like it.
You will see on the bed one of the Tom Swift
editions, this was and is a popular series of books for boys
to read when they are young.
And the next picture is the door that you entered
the Newland House and this concludes the regular tour, but continue
on with this web tour to see pictures of the Newland family on
the next two pages.
