Current Talk '05 I / Maine Mansion Built in 1795
« on: April 09, 2005, 03:31:30 AM »
This will likely be my only post until May, but I came across this recently and wanted to share it here.
The following link is to a mansion built on mid-coast Maine in 1795!
It bears no resemblance inside or out to Collinwood, but it could easily be seen as a model for the Old House.
I recommend taking the tour, and especially viewing photographs of the Main Hall/Entry, the Staircase landing, the kitchen, and the bedrooms. Also check out the dining room for a hint at what the one in the Old House might have looked like!
