Skinny House

A Memoir of Family

Skinny House-A Memoir of Family is a true story of perseverance in the face of ruin and a glimpse into the past of the inventive, remarkable people who gracefully ‘made it’ despite overwhelming societal and financial hurdles. It is a granddaughter’s story about the grandfather she never met and the famous house he built in Mamaroneck, New York. The author weaves the legacy of Nathan Seely—an ambitious carpenter who establishes a company in 1923.
