Pictures!

Here are some pictures of the house! I know there are a TON here, but with a house this big, it takes a lot of pictures to get it all documented! Everything is here from all four bedrooms, to the attic, to views from the front balcony, to a few pictures from the yard... Enjoy, and please let us know if you have any questions.



View of the front of the house


Detail of the initials above the front porch. It is the letters "N," "J," & "G" layered on top of one another. This stands for "Nicholas J. Gantt," the man who built the house back in 1886/1887.



This is the "Queen Anne's porch"... a decorative balcony on the east side of the house. It is located above the screened-in porch.
