“On the 16th of March, 1912, the first stone was laid by Niel. v.d. Wilt, age 3 1/2 years.” Lest anyone think that Nicolette was some kind of construction wunderkind, it should be noted that it was very common for family homes of that period to list a young family member as having laid the first stone.
