This cottage was built around 1880 and located among the pecan grove just north of the Call-Collins House. Ellen Call Long, The Grove's second owner, originally used the cottage for raising silkworms. The Collins family had the silk worm cottage torn down in the early 1950s. Prior to that, it was the home of Robert Aldridge, Reinette's business partner, who lived on The Grove property for many years before his death in 1952. Photo courtesy of Margaret Jensen
