When it was built, electricity, plumbing, and central air wasn't heard of, LOL " Yeah...that large flat screen tv seemed out of place. On the other hand, the 105 acres sounds good to a city boy. This same photographer restored another historic buildings in downtown Halifax. We have so many of them and a lot were allowed to deteriorate and were eventually tore down. About 100 years ago, Sylvester_Z._Poli, the movie theater magnate, built a huge mansion and about 10 large summer cottages on a nice piece of land at Woodmont beach in Milford, Connecticut. The Poli family lived in the big house when we had a small shack at the beach, and I was friends with one of the grandkids who lived in one of the fancy cottages. The huge mansion had a movie theater and bowling alley. I was invited there a few times. Some years ago, the main property was sold or given to an order of nuns. The fancy cottages were sold off individually and one of them changed hands recently for a million and a half US. http://tinyurl.com/q6wafc9 There's a seawall on the far side of the parking area. |

You could probably back up your boat with that much space. |

It's OK for dumb Don to butcher English - just ask him. He can't claim typo for either of those. His spellchecker didn't save him. |
