Charles W. (2) House, eldest son of
Charles W. (1) and Eliza Taylor (Clifton)
House, was born in Brooklyn, New
York, on February 1, 1873. His primary
education was obtained in the public
schools of Brooklyn, and for advanced
study he took the course at the Brooklyn
Polytechnic Institute. After leaving there
he was taken into his father's manufacturing
establishment, so that he might
learn the business in all its phases pre-
paratory to being admitted to partner-
ship. With the reconstruction of the
company following the death of his
father in 1906, Charles W. (2) House became
the president of the corporation,
and was one of the prime factors in the
ultimate decision of the company to remove
its plant to Unionville, Connecticut.
Mr. House makes his home in Hartford,
Connecticut. He has always been athletically
inclined, fond of outdoor life, and
therefore finds much pleasure in the little
time he can give to golfing. He is a popular
member of the Farmington Country
Club, and belongs to the Crescent Club
of Brooklyn. On June 14, 191 1, at Brooklyn,
he married Victoria Pollard, widow
of a Air. LaMoreux, of Hartford, and
daughter of highly regarded residents of
that city. They have four children : Wil-
fred, Constance, Virginia, and Charles
W. (3).
Everett T. House, second son of
Charles W. (1) and Eliza Taylor (Clif-
ton) House, was born April 22, 1878, in
Brooklyn, New York. He attended the
public schools and the Polytechnic Insti-
tute of Brooklyn, and in due course added
his energy and abilities to the affairs of
the family business. He was admitted to
the firm before it became known as
Charles W. House & Sons, and in the

present disposition of its executive affairs
occupies the office of treasurer. He lives
in Farmington, Connecticut, and has
taken active interest in the public and
political affairs of that town. Politically
a Republican, and socially a member of
the Farmington Golf Club, he has especially
interested himself in the Boy Scout
movement ; in fact, his interest in the
welfare and proper upbringing of the boys
of the district was such that he organized
the Boy Scouts of Farmington, now a
strong body. His association with that
work is an indication of his own char-
acter. He married, June 15, 1906, at
Staten Island, Elizabeth, daughter of
John and Lucretia Allen, of Staten Island.
They have two children : Everett T., Jr.,
and Anita.
Herbert C. House, third son of Charles
W. (1) and Eliza Taylor (Clifton) House,
was born in Brooklyn, New York, March 5,
1882. He attended for primary and col-
legiate instruction the Brooklyn public
schools and Brooklyn Polytechnic Insti-
tute, and eventually joined his father and
brothers in business, and presumably had
his proportionate share in the building up
of the business to its present position of
importance. He is secretary of the company,
and makes his home in Farmington,
Connecticut, where he is popular and
respected. He is an enthusiastic golfer
and is a member of the Farmington Coun-
try Club. His wife, nee Lillian Speed,
whom he married on November 24, 1909,
at Brooklyn, New York, is the daughter
of Roland and Alice Speed, of London,
England. They have one child, a daugh-
ter, Alice.
