The Old House - HOW big?

Gerard - love the story of your former place of employment.  I don't suppose you care to share with us the name of the mansion and its location?

alwaysdavid - you're so right!  Have always thought that the Old House would've in real life been more along the lines of a big colonial-style saltbox.  But the Spratt House was a fantastic choice - it really had the right atmosphere.  I wonder how many rooms it had.

BTW, I've seen some old pics of Jonathan Frid dressed as Barnabas, that were taken inside an abandoned mansion.  Does anyone know if those pictures were taken in the Spratt House?

There is two pictures of Frid taken inside and outside of the Spratt House in the book "The Dark Shadows
Companion" by Kathryn Leigh Scott. I have a collection DS trading cards I bought back in 1993 and some of
the cards have pictures of Frid standing outside in front of the Spratt House. I found out last year the Spratt
House was burned down back in 1969. For years, I wondered was the Spratt House was still standing and
hoping it was restored. BTW, the pictures of Frid and the house was taken during the winter. There is snow
on the ground.
