On March 13, 2010 a tree in my front yard snapped and fell on top of my house and and destroyed it. When meeting with the architect, I handed him a picture of the Andrew Sampson House that I found inside one of the Pottery Barn catalogs. He designed my house to look like the picture…except he designed it according to the close-up that was pictured on the cover. It wasn’t until recently that I decided to google the house. Very interesting to see that I’m not the only person who was captured by this beautiful home! Now if I could only get a look at the inside!!!!!

I also loved the photo and noticed the name … so of course I googled it…then found this…
Love the shot… it does look like something I would see around my area of New England…
I was surprised to see it is actually in a warm climate…

Capt. Andrew Sampson was my grandfather. He had two daughters, Bernice Lillian and Gladys Pauline Sampson I have always been told that my grandmother died when Gladys was ll and my mother Bernice was about 18. I have pictures of my grandfather and my mother and Gladys I would love to share.

I believe I am the only living relative alive so who are the ones that lived in the home in 1974.

I live in Dixon, Ca You may call me most anytime.

what first drew me to the Andrew Sampson house is how beautifully it was decorated.
Then, I noticed the placard with the name and decided to do some research and came upon this site. Thanks for the interesting information.

Cool. Glad you enjoyed the photo. I like being a detective! It’s amazing what you can find on the net (and a couple of emails)

Thank you for this post – I clipped the photo of this house out of the Pottery Barn catalog recently! I was inspired by the front portico – I have wanted something like this added to my own house. I was curious if it wrapped around the entire front of the house. Your google map photo answered that question for me. Thank you! Now if I could just get the inside of my house to look like the Pottery Barn catalog!

Happy holidays ~ Jennie

Hi Lisa,

Yeah, I think the angles are different. The catalog cover I think was taken at an angle and further west.

Glad that you enjoyed the post.

Thanks for sharing this! I fell in love with that particular shade of red on the door so I too Googled the Captain Andrew Sampson house (and images). I noticed, however, that the pic on the catalog cover showed the upstairs window centered on the peak of the covered porch. In the Google map image, it looks like its way off center. Must have just been a different angle.
