Really eye-catching with its stone and columns. Reminds me of old Well_to_ do College Ive seen somewhere.

I'm guessing that's rust, Mama... from the chain hanging down. I remember those chains having a small rubber stopper on the bottom you would use to block the drain.

I'm wondering what the brown thing on the shelf above the sink is? Looks like a book or an old folder. Remember the kind that had a flap you close and wind the string around a button of sorts to keep it closed?

Love these old doors, Would be nice to own one and sand it down and give it a new coat of paint and a fancy doorknob :)

The grounds look SO well-kept still and the roadway/pathway is almost pristine! If you didn't know better, you would think this is a college campus or something like that.

Great pictures Mr. Motts! My proverbial hat is off ro you once again! If you are up my way, give me a shout! :D

Yeah eldokid! That is a great point! I wonder if there are any artifacts buried in the cornerstone. Too bad it will never be known unless the building falls...

Wow. 1914 was even before my GRANDMA was born! She just turned 89...so this building is coming up on 100 years old in 3 years! :D

I sure hope you took precautions...but I am sure you did. This "ain't your first rodeo" as they say. I know you take care of yourself and you won't do anything that is an obvious danger to you or your friends.

I LOVE THE STONEWORK ON THIS! Oh man...that is so pretty!!!!

Wow...I would love to have a house that looked like this in the front! It makes me think of Southern Plantations and rolling green hills and going to cotillions. :)
