I have seen all of your coverage of this house. You did a great job! I lived in this mansion for 4 years with my family when I was in high school. (Long before the Home Depot was built on the “what was a corn feild at the time”. The peices on the Newel post were decorative to indicate that the mortgage was paid in full. The “storage area” next to the coupala was used to create a methane gas from sewage, which fed all of the indoor lighting.It was still in tact when I lived there. the room below the coupela was a ice storage room for food. The corridor aoutside the basement was used for coal storage (at the end where towards the sun room). The rear doors to the corridor were for coal delivery. I can tell you much more detail about the many rooms.. including the carriage building, and the servants house that used to be on the property. This video brings back many memmories of me and my family living in this mansion.
Fantatic Don, thanks for commenting. You don’t have any old photos from back then that you could share?
Great job, as I have left you a comment on youtube.
