What a Storybook feel to this. Conjures up a princess kept in a lonely palace. Great photo.

With regard to Hittman Medical Systems, I found this article about Fred Hittman which include the following info:

"The company went public in the late 1960s and became Hittman Corp. in 1971, with four operating divisions: Hittman Nuclear and Development Corp., Hittman Associates Inc., Hittman Medical Systems, and Nuclear Battery Corp."

However, there seems to be two other companies with the same name in the US, so I don't know if what I found was the one?

Love the woodwork.

Charming, great place! I wish it had been mine. Thank you for your time that day 10 years ago.

You are right Selena, It's an American Standard toilet from the 1960's, back when their logo was printed as 'Standard' in a somewhat gothic font.

Once again, thank you for a journey back in time with your great photos.
Be well Mr. Motts!

That stove is incredible!! Is that a butlers pantry behind the door?
I would love to have a kitchen like this!!

Nice view of the little tower in the garden.

Oh-oh/ A little water damage. Doesn't look to bad though.
It certainly could be repaired. I can picture in my mind the rooms
cleaned up and furnished with antiques and tapestries. It would be
wonderful!

This is awesome! Perhaps the false door frame was meant to have
some sort of statuary on a pedestal in front of it to offset the fireplace.
Really beautiful craftsmanship! I agree eldokid. It does have a church-
like quality.

I can't believe someone hasn't come around to salvage this place.
It's such a waste to let this wonderful architecture just sit and rot.
I would buy this in a heartbeat if i could afford it. Maybe I will win
the lottery.... :-)

It was very difficult to track down what happened after the owner died. I read about rumors of a caretaker living there for some years, but what happened to all the furnishing is a mystery.

Nah, but I don't really give those beliefs much credence so I'm pretty biased. There are places where just, god-awful horrors happened to thousands of people, but once they get turned into condos or malls, no one seems to complain.

How very cool it would be to live in your own castle!!
Thanks for the new gallery Mr. Motts!

I for one am glad you keep some of these places secretive. For some like Kings Park it's just too late but for others it will help keep the A-holes from going there and smashing everything in sight.
