The old portion of the house

 So...before you get worried...  this is the older portion of the house that hasn't been used in many many years.  Thus, the peeling (okay, that's an understatement) wallpaper from the 1900's.

This portion of the house has 4 odd bedrooms that were used as boarding rooms when the railroad ran just below the edge of the property.

This part of the house will, eventually, become something updated, new and exciting, but that won't be for a while yet.  Until then, this portion of the house, which we affectionately call either the "fun house" or the "Alice in Wonderland House" will likely be empty for a while.

There are boxes of these old light shades left in the old portion of the house.

The keys for one of the "Boarding Rooms" still hangs on the wall.

Newspaper under the flooring is from 1924--the last time they laid down flooring.

Old fixtures, like this hinge, will be fun to restore.

The old part of the house does need some love.

The place is old, but the views are pretty nice.  This looks at the cemetary.

Typical odd layout and single bulb in the old portion.

Nice view from the window on this side.  Lots of potential in this view!

The side view of the old portion of the house.  The wide door goes into what used to be the kitchen, the upstairs "funhouse" rooms are the top two windows furthest left.

One of the oddest things, and the origin of the "Alice in Wonderland" theme are these small windows turned doors.  Clearly, it was more important to make more rooms than make the doors reasonably sized.

This magical doorway leads to the newer portion of the house.  Justin is walking into a bedroom.
