that top house is really architecturally pretty damn cool. I wish they had the money to restore those grand old houses.

And the desire. It seems the people that do have the money just want to tear them down and put up a cookie cutter McMansion. Odd shaped rooms, back staircases, and parapets, are the most wonderful places for children... of all ages.

I totally agree! and dumbwaiters! those things are the coolest!

Harriet the Spy hid in a dumbwaiter if I'm not mistaken. I coveted her lifestyle. I still do. I keep about seven notebooks on me at all times. And yes, my purse is HUGE. it has to be to carry all those books and notebooks. And pens. And mechanical pencils.

oh, god. I'm becoming strange in my decrepitude....

There are a lot of similar houses all over Upstate New York. They are cool, beautiful, fuel wasters, and full of lead paint.
