Thanks to all who came out in this cold and blustery weather to make our day worthwhile. It is nearly impossible to get an old house warm when it is so-o-o-o breezy as you already know if you own one . . . Our street is already looking spiffy and in a holiday mood. Amy and Doug Hill, Jaime and Bryan MacLeod, Erica Gordon and Dr. Bob Coldren and Jack Barnett are deep into their preparations. We all try to look good for the HHA Candlelight House Tour which is this coming Sunday . . . Just learned that Lyn Lawson's house at 225 Briggs Street is the latest to hit the market, asking $224,900. I have lived in this area since 1963 and I cannot remember a time when so many properties were available--I can name six without even thinking . . . I was happy to hear that plans for converting the old convent at 603 North Second Street into a rooming house had been shot down by the city planning commission. It was a bad idea, parking considerations aside. That grand old building deserves a better fate . . . And speaking of conversions, this little gadget will make your prized (empty) spirits bottle into a stunning conversation starter when displayed amid your nibbles trays at your next party. The five-pronged candelabra is made of wrought iron and sells for $18.50. Candles are provided for the inaugural burn . . .
