I KNOW I've run across information on the midcentury house on Hope Street before, though I don't remember the name Oliver.
I remember thinking then that it must have been built on the site of the Hildreth house's carriage house, or at the beginning of the driveway back to the carriage house--notice that it seems to be inserted in an opening in what looks like the same stone wall
that surrounded the Hildreth. I've always loved the Hildreth house--pictures of it, at least--but have never found one showing
much of the Hope Street side of the property.
As for Kosciusko Way--here in New York we hear about the Kosciuszko Bridge all the time in traffic reports (it's on the Brooklyn-
Queens Expressway--and for some reason it's spelled with a "z" here). Anyway, I've run across Kosciuszko this and Kosciusko that all over the country. The General was a Polish volunteer in the Revolutionary War.
