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?
