Welcome to my virtual home for old house lovers! I'm excited to have you join me in my corner of the internet for discussions with similar old house lovers, advice on properly preserving and renovating historic houses, what should be done with houses where crimes have been committed, and so much more. Make yourself cozy and let's talk about all things house-related and explore the stories behind houses; how they've built us, what they teach us, how they define us, and occasionally, the secrets they keep.
