Spanish Hill has been the topic of many magazine and newspaper articles written over the last century.  Unfortunately, some that have been sent to me have not been properly dated. But I believe their value is not in how many years they have survived, but how many hearts and imaginations they did spark for their time.

I can only hope that this site can again regenerate some of the interest that these articles did so long ago.
