new england/bridge freezes over

my grandfathers house is for sale, the house he built, then sold around 1905.

my grandmother had too much ambition. she moved her family out of her dream house, with hard wood floors, built by her still young husband with his young energy. a popular italian restaurant had opened a few lots down. there was a garden in the back, with men drinking, playing bocce lawn bowling....why did she move out of her dream house??
