Up these stairs to the attic…
Of all the rooms packed FULL of furniture and boxes, what we saw when we went to the attic was the most overwhelming! I just wish I had taken pictures before I started bringing the boxes down these stairs! Words cannot describe the sight. Some of the boxes were really heavy! I am very surprised the floor didn’t fall through!
Although there weren’t many boxes left when these pictures were taken, you can still see what a huge space, plus the other rooms that were full of the boxes. You can also imagine how much work I did taking the boxes off the tall stacks and bringing them all the way down to the first floor to unpack. It was allot of work for both of us unpacking!!!
This picture was taken in a room in the attic. It was completely FULL of boxes! Picture taken 5-1-09.

This room is to the left of the above picture. This room was FULL, too! Picture taken 5-1-09.
This area is on the east side of the attic between two rooms... The door opens to a whole new part of the attic that is unfinnished but HUGE!!! Picture taken 5-1-09.

Picture taken inside what we called the "curtain room' on 5-1-09.
Picture showing some of the charred boards from a previous fire. The fire started in the servants quarters built in the 1920's and moved up the wall and to the attic. Picture taken 5-1-09.
Along the wall in the top part of the picture is another door leading to a sem-finnished room. To the right were MORE boxes piled 5-6 high! Pictures taken 5-1-09.
Somehow, I didn’t take pictures of the main part of the attic. Maybe I will still run across more!!!
