    What a grand old lady! It was definitely a beautiful entertainment home of its day. Large rooms allowing for many guests. I can just imagine all the activity and fun!

      I hope someone with some sense and a sense of history will remove things from the house that are valuable and can be re-purposed. As it is, the waste of good things here is tragic.

    I've been to a few estate sales, it's really kind of sad when you're going thru someones things, who are no longer alive. Usually once an estate sale is over anything not sold is either donated, or sold off for pennies on the dollar. I wonder why there is so much stuff left in this house. I can only imagine how glorious this house must have been in its day. Awesome..

There are some areas in this house that look untouched by the ravages of age, but i do wish whomever was in charge of the estate sale would have cleared out the stuff that didn't sell. Just love the interior shutters on the windows! And oddly enough, i once owned the shower curtain with the yellow rosettes!

    They are slides. We used to have slide projectors which you could load up with slides, then project them onto a blank screen. People would show pictures they took on vacation, etc. in that way. I have pictures my late brother took on slides from the 60s through the 80s. Thank you again for all you do. May you have the happiest of holidays!
