above was in my very best Eddie G. Robinson voice Okay...if I'm not mistaken, the big house (Collinwood) is, what, made of stone/marble? The look (texture, color) of both the walls and floor in the entrance/foyer to me look as if made of stone (I don't want to say concrete, because I don't know if that's the right word or if there was concrete yet late 1700s
colonies). Is this correct? If so, BLAH! I can't think of
anywhere that it would be comfortable to live in 'stone'. It would be humid/soggy; it would be terribly cold (especially in a Maine coastal location). Shoot, I wouldn't want 'stone' in FL!
Also, if stone, does anyone architect. bless know how they would/did segue into the stairs? Are there 2x4's nailed to the walls in other rooms for the 'non-stone walls'? Well, hopefully this age old topic can !finally! be discussed
