  2. That’s a magnificent house. I’m glad they restored it, and it looks like they did a wonderful job. I like that first photo that reveals a little bit of the interior.

  4. Beautiful door and architecture. Great photos. I like your low angle view of the steps up to the door (first photo). Excellent share. Thanks also for the history details.
