When I hit the Powerball, it's mine! (I should buy a ticket!) I'll turn the garages into my woodworking shop turning out re-creations of fine furniture from this home's era, as well as works I've seen in various Dupont estates in the area.

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. I have seen all of your coverage of this house. You did a great job!

I have lived in the area and always wanted to know what it looked like inside. Unfort I go to that home depot often but always wondered what it used to look like. The history behind it is fab! I went to high school with someone that lived there for a few months back in the late 80's. Thanks again!! Great video! thank you so much.

I have some personal pictures of this house from when I was a kid. My grandmother lived here at one time with the owner. I think his name was Tony. I know that he owned it for years and now wonder what happen to him? I have pictures of the inside at Christmas time and I think there is one of My brother and I outside playing in the yard in the snow. It is a shame that the lake is gone and home depot moved in next door. Hello Thanks for the tour you did on this house. I have some personal pictures of this house from when I was a kid.

Thank you for posting your gorgeous pictures. If I were to purchase this home I would turn it into a B&B that would also be able to host many celebrations. Who wouldn't want to get married in this home & on it's grounds? My mother plays the lotto every so often, if she wins I hope this will still be on the market!
