Impressive -looking building, interesting structure!
did you get pix inside?
magnificent front...love to see inside.
An attic and ten fireplaces??!!! I Loooove it!!!!!!!!
A great house! Hope someone can keep it up.
Sounds like it has all kinds of possibilities - boutique hotel, school, non-profit office complex, international youth hostel, music institute...
At least from the outside it looks like it's been well kept. I hope someone finds a new use for it; I guess in this day & age it would be too big for a single family dwelling (unless you invited all your relatives to stay with you)
It's a shame such a stately old home isn't being lived in, in some manner or other. You'll have to get a tour so that we can all see inside!
interesting - you really do your research!
These are great photos. How long have you been into photography?
What a neat house!
Lovely house, but I'm intrigued by the part above the columns. Wonder if this was a veranda or deck that was then enclosed at some point? Somehow seems odd in relation to the rest of the architecture.
Hope someone makes use of it. It's too lovely to have not be used.

Ooops. Should have said... It's too lovely to not be used. I added an extra word there.

what a gorgeous old place. Such a waste that it is standing empty, if that was here it would have been trashed for the copper pies, or invaded by squatters years ago!
