The Robinson family residence in the 1930s is shown elsewhere with a view from the east or SE. This view is from Bridge Street on the south southwest corner of the home, toward the Battenkill. The home is called the Corliss Mansion by historians. It was built in the mid 1800s by Dr. Hiram Corliss, father of the inventor of the Corliss steam engine. Located on the Battenkill, the house was used by Dr. Corliss, a prominent abolitionist physician, as a way station on the "underground railroad" to facilitate the escape of runaway slaves to Canada.
