  1. Oh, I love old buildings like this.
    And what a history, wow.
    It’s cool to have some personal history with it as well.
    I’m sure your Mom could tell quite some stories!
    Also wonderful shots!

  2. Magnificent house. I love the close up shot. The patina on the copper trim is fascinating.

  3. Beautiful old house. I bet there were tons of cool detail pics there!

  4. Nice photos of heritage building. The house must be big as it has 33 rooms.

  5. Beautiful building, but I would sure hate to pay the heating bill on this baby 😉
