Juniper Point

<p>June 1910. Charles Richard Crowningshield a wealthy industrialist from Chicago is sending his family east to escape the summer heat. They arrive by private train to the village of Woods Hole a small fishing village on the tip of Cape Cod Massachusetts. He's just purchased a new home there high atop Juniper Point a windswept promentary with views to sea and the Elizabeth islands beyond. But the house built in 1880 a large Victorian mansion in the Queen Anne stylee is a beautiful fixer-upper lacking even the most basic of amenities like indoor plumbing. Arthur Rouse an illiterate Scottish foundryman with an almost preternatural relationship with machinary has also been sent by his employer to set the situation to rights. </p>
