A Fall Walk

Our neighborhood does not get quite so excited about Fall decorations as it does about Christmas. This week I got up to a dead battery and nice, cool Fall weather - so I walked to work! (Only about 10 minute walk!) I enjoyed looking at the mums on every one's porches, so I went back today and took some pictures of houses that I haven't shown before.


There are only two houses between this house and ours. It was built before the Civil War and has tunnels that were used in the Underground Railroad. A girl I know grew up in it. It was also used as a church for a while. It has been restored in the last 5 years and I have not been inside. I really need to take a picture at night with the lights on.

There are gas lights in the lamp posts .

Ghosts dancing on the side of the house!

I wanted to get a picture of the conservatory, it is hard to see -but there are more ghosts in there. When this was a church they did baptisms in there! There used to be a fenced area behind it for rabbits - they were the biggest rabbits I've ever seen! They had tunnels that they would pop out of. I think they are gone now. Before the current owners bought the house there were some apartments in the back yard. We knew a couple who lived in one and fed their cat when they went out of town so we got to see the rabbits! The new owners had the apartments bulldozed- it was a good move!

This family goes all out as well. This house once belonged to the son of a famous man from town, General George Harrison, who was the Commander of Civil War Veterans.

Side view of the house!

I don't know anything about the history of this house, but it is beautiful inside!
