PRESCOTT – One of the most historic houses in town – and the artifacts of its last owner – are being auctioned off in coming weeks for charity.
John B. Hartry, who died in October without heirs, left the 182-year-old Robert Glasgow House and a vast array of his collectibles and antiques to a foundation that will benefit local charities.
Randy Pelehos, executor of the estate, said Hartry instructed him to keep the names of the charities private until the estate is settled, so he would not reveal the beneficiaries.
It was no secret that Hartry, who died childless, had a soft spot for children and that he was a Big Brother and active in the Brockville Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization, Pelehos said.
Aside from the stately stone house, the estate of Hartry, an avid livelong collector, includes such automobiles as a 1955 Morgan and a 1956 Austin Healey, along with artwork, textiles, chamber pots, pottery and furniture, some of it well more than a century-old.
