That must have been a spectacular home back when it was lived in. It is a beautiful construction and I like the colors.

It's good to keep everything as possible, so the cities each day will teach us more.

It looks like a yellow version of the Old State House in Hartford.

Wonderful that it is taken care of, as it hopefully has done as well, with the many generations educated.

Please have a good new week.

I find this mansion interesting. I can't find the exact replica of what I've seen in this picture. It was built way how many decades and yet, it is still standing and beautiful to look at. It's great to see amazing structures that were made into historical hosts.
