It was around the late 1990's and I grew up there when it was being used by Queen's College. My parents worked there, it was where they met, and we just visited it yesterday! I wish we could have stayed longer, been able to have looked around inside and simply revel in the beauty and nostalgia of the place. Unfortunately, we got rained out! Luckily enough, however, one of the old caretakers my parents knew drove by on his was out of the vicinity and dropped us off at the parking lot! But I really loved it there, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6807386654523336456.post-65747330423943342592009-10-10T06:12:24.539-04:002009-10-10T06:12:24.539-04:00do you have any photographs from that time anonymo...do you have any photographs from that time anonymous?

A friend of his from church was a state trooper and his job was to patrol (and live on the estate). We went there during the progessive Italian Thanksgiving dinner. He lived in the left side of the stable- in the stable jockey's home. It was amazing to tour the place then. All the statues on the estate were stored in the stable at the time. When we arrived it looked like a crowd of people in the stable- it was dusk at the time.<BR/>Paul Rentz<BR/>prentz2@comcast.netprentzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10073987814568117943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6807386654523336456.post-3923995013803515722008-07-22T23:56:00.000-04:002008-07-22T23:56:00.000-04:00Hey Zach!
