  7. What a great idea for a post! Very creative. I'm shocked, though, to see the flag hanging backwards on Mary Todd Lincoln's house.

  15. Hello:
    Ah!! Can we ever escape from our roots and deny our past? It would appear not, and such a shame for Miss Middleton, unlike others here, whose childhood home is, at best, unassuming. But, what a fascinating post!
    Thank you so much for visiting our blog and becoming a Follower. We are more than delighted to reciprocate.

  16. I was completely absorbed in this sequence of homes and origins! Fascinating stuff! And a slice of social history too, illustrating how much things have changed.

  19. Hi Kathy :)
    Lovely works!
    I would like to know if I can use some of your pictures from older posts, for my web design
    (with credit of course).

    For example: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5AWI_u2yZmE/TBrcnyrMrtI/AAAAAAAABqQ/k80G9UsRxUw/s400/img_7378-stack-of-books-q67-303x500.jpg

    Thanks

  20. What a wonderful post! Clearly Mary Todd Lincoln's childhood home had been renovated as this is stylistically too late. But the whole collection is an interesting study!
