Colonial House



My Colonial House
This is my Colonial House. It is a four room New England Saltbox with central stairway hall, four fireplaces, electric lights, clapboard siding and a storage attic under its shingle roof. It was hand built in the late 1970's and filled with many pieces of handmade furniture, rugs and accessories including four tiny framed paintings.

Here you see it as I did when I purchased it.
