Trivia- Pierates Cruze

The answer is D, the gardens were surrounded by a substantial seawall and included a belled wall.

In 1929, the Osgood family of Massachusetts bought the large waterfront lot and built a large seawall, behind which they created seven pleasure gardens collectively called Pierates Cruze. They then opened the garden to the public in the 1940s where it remained a popular destination through the ‘s. Although the gardens closed in 1959 and the land sold into small lots, there are still surviving garden features, such as the Belled Wall, which was reconstructed after Hurricane Hugo in 1989.

DISPELLING MYTHS:

SELLING ON YOUR OWN: History tells us an experienced agent can price your home correctly and then get the home closed. And although having more than one buyer is nice, it is not always the best position for a seller for many reasons. An experienced agent can guide you on what, if any, renovations will be a good return on your investment in this market. And lastly, experience matters when it comes to producing the results you desire. Please listen, if you are considering selling, a professional Realtor with experience is key to success.
