woooohooo......moved in Dec 29th. and loving it. Huge Victorian built in the 1880's 7 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms! Beautiful oak and cherry woodwork all through the house, thought I'd share a couple of pictures. I'm especially fond of the stained glass windows and the main floor fireplace. All original door knobs and hinges which I love. Also added a few pics of a lighted corner cabinet that my wife let me use for some of my favorite relics, saving some space for whats in my yard! Spring aint too far off now!!

I still can't believe you bought that house brother. :o That is one beautiful homestead. I love the stained glass work!! Very nice display cabinet to show off some of your great finds too! Awesome pictures. Thanks for sharing. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

W :o W!! It's beautiful! I love the beauty of wood...it just glows in your new home, I just do not like it hidden with paint. Let's see 7 bedrooms & 9 bathrooms, I'll take the upstairs bedroom on the left. ;D
I was thinking since there's so many rooms, I was looking for a "Finds" room...your display case is really nice. Is this gonna be a home or a bed & breakfast?
 

Awesome house J, like stepping back into time, love the old fireplace with carved stone! The stained glass is sweet, and so is all the woodwork. Check the basement for a crawlspace, bet there may be 100+ y.o. bottles/relics hiding. Congrats on the new home, hope I get a tour soon, can't wait to hear what you dig outa that yard! D
 

what a gorgeous home!!! may you have a wonderful life there. YOu must be just chomping at the bit to dig the yard. I hope it is a large property too! good luck
 

Man!! That is super cool. :headbang: :thumbsup: I wanna live there, hey, whats one more rather large dude in the house? :laughing9: That fireplace is soooooo cool. I love the work on the door knob and strike. Very neat place. The display case fits right in with the house. Neato.
