Places to live on Dark Shadows

New poll for DS forums.

Collinwood would be choice #1, Blair House #2.

The abandoned mill used by Petofi in 1897, pretty nice digs, I've always been interested in living in a house that wasn't traditionally a house. Love the era, and the coolest people were always just dropping by.

1795 Old House...just as long as Abrigale isn't living there LOL

I love both Collinwood and the Old House. Collinwood is the place I would love to explore, but the Old House is the one I would love to own and live in - restored or original in 1795.

I wouldn't mind having the tower room for a bedroom. Nice view.

Besides the ones I voted for (Collinwood and the Old House, present day, to which I belatedly add the house by the sea and the old mill), the one I thought of right away that isn't on the list:  Rose Cottage.

The Evans cottage. Lotsa light to paint by.

The groovy place to live in Collinsport I think would be Roxanne & Sebatian's place. They have the cool lights and I think a table that had a hand on it as well. All the comforts of home that you can get. LOL.

But to seriously answer I would like to live in Collinwood in 1840 so that I could just open a door and see what was going on in parallel time periods.

Adam's hiding place for Carolyn was actually a root cellar.  I found the ruin of one of these while exploring an island in the Boston harbor last Spring with some friends.

There was a fishing shack that wound up going up in flames in 1967; it was meant to be on or adjacent to the estate grounds, I believe.  There was also an abandoned hut near the beach where Angelique kept Barnabas a prisoner for a couple of days in 1968.

OK, no longer talking about places where I'd personally like to live, but here are a couple of pretty spacious - but spooky - homes:

- Dr. Lang's house, where Adam was created

- the bizarre home of painter Charles Delaware Tate

I mentioned Rose Cottage from 1849 ... but what I really loved was Flora Collins' home.  My memory is hazy after only a few years I'm afraid, as in another thread where I mistakenly thought that Daphne Harridge and the children were calling back Quentin, when it was Gerard.  So I'm not sure if Flora's home was Rose Cottage, but I think these were two different places.  I remember something about "the old Magruder place," whence I developed the theory that Flora Collins was born Flora Magruder.  I loved the interiors of that home (didn't Desmond live there, too) but can't remember if we ever saw the exterior.  Does anyone remember seeing the exterior?

i like old disused fire houses.

It was Rose Cottage and yes, Desmond lived there as well.    They would show the exterior quite often.

Oh me too!  I LOVED the house they used for The Real World/Boston as it was a restored firehouse.

What about Angelique's house on Little Windward Island?  I always liked the place--exterior and interior.  Rose Cottage is another good choice, but I had to pick Prof. Stokes' house.  It's so tiny and comfortable looking.

Now that would be a cool place to live in!
