		Herman Melville (1819-1891) and his family resided in nearby Pittsfield at Arrowhead, a rambling yellow-and green farmhouse built as a tavern in the 1780s.
		(Melville's wife, Elizabeth, claimed her mother-in-law was the model for this character, not she.) The wife, daughters, and local architect are eventually thwarted, and the ``two grey headed old smokers'' are left undisturbed.
		Another of Arrowhead's noteworthy features is what Melville referred to as his ``piazza.'' It is a simple porch that Melville had built onto the north side of the house, again, in view of Mount Greylock.
