Re: Another OHW/WG IMMIGRANT

Your house is gorgeous.
Like you...we looked at many houses over the span of about 7 months. Only one really seemed to call us and said home. The house found us...

Folks, more pics as she looks today.
Upstairs hallway, at the time Gothichome was built, a large part of family life would have happened up here. The parlour was for guests, the dinning room only used for eating, the kitchen was not the usual spot for the family to hang out it. So the family would while away their leisure time reading, writing, needlwork ect up here.

Re: Another OHW/WG IMMIGRANT
I just love your house! What a beauty. You seem to have one of the most intricately detailed homes in the group. I can't get over the unique moulding, trim and door styles in gothichome
You have a such a great eye for antiques and wonderful decorating style. Any house would be proud to have you as their steward.

Re: Another OHW/WG IMMIGRANT
7th heaven, thanks. We are always looking for some thing new to add. We set an age limite of 1910(ish) for the antiques. That's about as long as the first owner lived in the home from the info I have.

Re: Another OHW/WG IMMIGRANT
This is the dinning room as it appears now. This is the interior wall separating it from the kitchen, After the hallway walls it is the longest wall. Only one door. The table is set for eight and there is still room to dance around it.
The outside wall with the widows.
