--- Quote from: David In Indy on December 05, 2009, 03:32:15 am ---When I lived in Evansville, I lived in an old Victorian for several years. On Adams Street. It had a bunch of gables, porches and even a turret with a "witch hat" roof. It was beautiful. It had some of the original stained glass windows. The one on the staircase landing was particularly beautiful. When the sun rose in the morning and the light shone through that window, it would throw all kinds of colors, like a rainbow.
The house had several secret passageways too! That house was lots of fun to live in! And the woodwork inside was beautiful. I loved all the pocket doors. :)

My favourite house ever was the farmhouse we used to live in. I wish I could have that house with Florida weather. Still can't have everything and as I now think 60 degs is freezing, England would finish me and my bones off.
The past few mornings my fingers have been back really bent and swollen and sore, It reminds me why we came here.

Yeah, I think you are correct Fiona. England would feel very chilly to you now, after living in Florida for so long. You're living in a tropical (more or less) climate now. :)
And it is supposed to snow here tonight! >:(
:laugh: :laugh:
I am not pleased about it at all. :P
Oh, I was also going to tell you something else about Woodruff Place. When my boyfriend (now ex boyfriend) was here a couple of years ago, I took him to my friend's house over at Woodruff Place. When he found out that their house was 125 years old he said "Our new houses are older than that!" lol (Alex is from the London area). I thought that was cute. And it is true. Even though England is a MUCH older country than the United States, we Americans are very bad about preserving our history. When something gets old, we tend to tear it down and build something new in its place. It is very sad. We shouldn't do that!
I am happy to say though, that Woodruff Place is now on the National Register of Historic Places so those houses should still be standing for many generations to come! :)
