Summary: "The Tenants: An Episode of the '80s" by Mary S. Watts is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds in a small Midwestern town as it chronicles the fate of the old Gwynne house, a once-grand residence now facing demolition. The story explores themes of nostalgia, change, and the decline of a family legacy through the eyes of various characters, notably the heirs of the Gwynne family and their tumultuous history. At the beginning of the novel, the protagonist reflects on the demolition of the historical Gwynne house, which has transitioned from a grand mansion to a dilapidated tenement. The narrative recounts the house's storied past, detailing its origins and the prominent figures associated with it, particularly Governor Gwynne. The focus shifts to the current state of the house and its last residents, including Harriet Peters and her family, who possess a mix of reverence and sadness for their ancestral home. Through vivid descriptions and anecdotes, the opening sets the stage for the exploration of the Gwynne family's legacy, their complicated relationships, and the house’s impending transformation.
