She had the run of Block Island in the 50’s and 60’s, when most of the buildings were wide open to explore. Maryalice became a prominent restorer and lover of antiques. She bought a mirror and takes on a whirlwind hunt for the origin of that mirror. We do find out it once belonged to the prominent Rhode Island Brown family.
