Again he went to sea for two years. After returning from his sea trip he, with others, organized the Aberthaw Construction Com- pany for the construction of re-inforced con- crete, with offices at 12 Pearl street and other locations in Boston, and for some time he was superintendent of construction. The present office of the company is at 8 Beacon street, Boston, and Mr. Dennett is on the board of directors, though not in active management of affairs. In May, 1906, Mr. Dennett bought a
farm at Framingham, Massachusetts, and is now residing there. His farm is the old Gates homestead. He has remodeled and restored the old dwelling house, and erected on the place a large workshop of pleasing design where he makes furniture of antique styles, and has developed an interesting and artistic business, finding a large demand for furniture to match old pieces or to complete the furnish- ing of houses or rooms requiring furniture of antique design. Mr. Dennett has a special liking for his unique avocation, and while he gratifies an artistic and antiquarian taste finds profitable occupation for his time. A feature of Mr. Dennett's residence is a stately elm measuring twenty-five feet in circumference at the trunk with a spread of one hundred and forty-two feet. This is said to be the largest elm in New England and is evidently a sur- vivor of the primeval forest. Mr. Dennett is Unitarian in religion, Republican in politics.
