Charles Lapham built the house in Thomasville after the great Chicago fire. Every room in the house has multiple exits, in case of fire. Thomasville was a winter resort for wealthy Northerners, as this was the end of the railroad (Florida was still swampland). Here's a link for more information on the house: http://gastateparks.org/LaphamPatterson

Oh - and I forgot to say - WELCOME TO ACTIVE RAIN - we are very glad that you are here!
Looks like a beautiful home - why is it famous and who are these women?
