Red Roof was the Gloucester Massachusetts home of Congressman A. Piatt Andrew.  Andrew was born in La Porte Indiana in February 1873.  Andrew died at Red Roof in June of 1936.  Red Roof was built to his own specifications and design on Eastern Point overlooking the Gloucester harbor. 
After his death Andrew's sister maintained the home as a memorial to her brother.  The house remained in the family until recently, remaining largely untouched since 1936.

I plan to use this site not as a biography but a memorial to the house and its founder though photographs and objects.
