Wordless Wednesday: This Old House
This morning, I tried very hard to get some information on this lovely old place in Harper's Ferry, West Virginia. I was struck by the beautiful old stone. And I think it sits on a major flood plane where two rivers converge, so my guess is that it has suvived quite a few floods in it's day. And I really, really wanted to get inside.
If anyone knows anything about this lovely old lady, I'd love to know about it!
Oh, if walls could talk Pat, this one would be babbling. Can see why you want to get inside. Where exactly is it?
Love it! That is a great picture, and I really enjoy when you post these awesome pictures!
Can't you just hear the echoes of Paul Revere's horse pounding down the highway? Hey, what the heck ... I'm from way out west - east ... is Las Vegas to me!
The picture does suggest its own past ... so if you can't find one - make one up - unless it's a disclosure item, who'll care .... and we will all be entertained by your sense of the area and your wit. Thanks for sharing...
What a cool old place. It so predates when I think of old. I too, would love to see the inside of this place. Such old world charm. If you do get inside, I hope you can take pictures and share!
Hi Pat... these are the kinds of houses that you just know have the most interesting stories to tell! Great find!
Patricia,
beautiful photo. Would be very interesting to see the inside. I can only maginge the challenge of making it comfotable by today;s standards
My brother is buried in a plot right next to a house very similar in Hedgesville... must be something about that area... It was nice to have a rush of memory - Thanks!
Pat-Probably safe to say they don't build them like that anymore. Thanks for sharing.
Patricia, Does the county records show who the owner is? I’d imagine someone has information on the house … what character … I am sure it has a lot of stories to tell!
I would want to get inside of that house too. Rich history would be a guarantee!
Cool. Maybe you could look it up on that site that had that old picture of your place.
Hi Pat, I also would have wanted to go inside. I love old and unique homes!
If only these old structures could talk, the stories they could tell about our nation's history!
That building is definitely in a flood zone - the whole lower town is. I have some photos of that house from when I was down there in 2008.
What I love about the east coast is that your history is so much older than ours. If we have a home that is 100-150 years old we are fascinated by it. But, then I think about your history and know that there are many homes 300 years old and to me that is really just hard to think about what they have scene in our nations history and who could have been at that front door knocking during that time.
