I love it! I just love old buildings with character and this one certainly has it.
I love that it's been renovated, and well done. Your photographs certainly do it justice and the story adds so much.
In the 'entrance to the alcove' photo I believe I see a copy of "Hera adjusts her Sandal". I recognize it because the 'big house' we bought (built in 1893 also) had a bias relief of that over the mantle in the Great Room. I'm excited just to see it!
Thanks for a wonderful presentation of a wonderful place. No wonder you like going to work :)
ohhhhhhhhh! I had to google that! yeah, it's a modern copy, pure white marble, from Vietnam :)
Work itself can be, well, work, but being here and doing all the weird and wonderful things we do every day can be super fun.
