Built in 1910 for W.O. Brown, a buggy manufacturer, and his wife Mitty, in Munger Place, "strictly a high-class residential district" about three miles east of downtown. Rescued in 1977 by us after decades of decline. Restored room-by-room, over the course of many years, by our four hands. A great adventure.

I love old houses! This is very nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you. By the way, I had no idea you could eat chickweed!
DeleteYour home is beautiful. How lucky to have the old photos also! We are replacing the original screens right now on our 1945 house.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary. The old photo is from the original promotional brochure for Munger Place. And isn't there is always something to replace or repair on an older house!
DeleteLovely house! I can only imagine the work to bring it back to life.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Melissa. And the work goes on. We are the house's servants.
