Re. the mansion(s) - actually, there were TWO of 'em, both on National Register of Historic Places. They were/are twin mansions (5 k sq. ft. each) built on adjoining lots in 1875 by wealthy, German immigrant merchants. In 1984, I became part (one third) owner of one of 'em; a year later, part (one quarter) owner of the other one. I spent 1984 & 1985 restoring the first one; 'spent 1986 and 1987 restoring the second one. "Worked my a$$ off - all day every day incl. Sat, Sun, holiday, etc., for FOUR years on 'em. 'Took us 10 years to "get rid of" 'em at sig loss. Restoration cost was about $250 k plus 2 years of my life EACH. 'Finally sold 'em for about $145 each and glad to be rid of 'em (and the "partners"). 'Lotsa good "training" in many ways. Wilton
