As I walked off along Revolutionary Road, I came across this brightly colored fire hydrant. I thought the bright colors contrasted nicely with the stonework.

And yes, this is the Revolutionary Road in Richard Yate’s well-known novel and the movie of the same name.

Novelist and short-story writer Richard Yates lived at the corner of Revolutionary Road and Route 9 in Scarborough. The Beechwood estate contained a carriage house, gatehouse, squash court (no longer extant), and a white-stucco artist’s studio named Beech Twig. In his youth, novelist Richard Yates lived there, as well as other artists, writers, and composers (e.g. John Cheever).
