It was a little spooky going in the front door. I have only been there before during times of loss but looking at this building in a whole new light didn't make the entry any easier.
This is the outside
Looks just like a house, huh?
Family kitchen, kinda small but homey.
Unfortunately, it was just down the hall from this room
Yep, you guessed it, this is the scarey room. The one that no one gets to see in a funeral home. And just down the hall, literally 25 feet from the kitchen. I bet a man designed it!
Anyway, it has a beautiful staircase, as you can see
Sorry for the sideview. Just turn your head upside down!
There were 3 bedrooms upstairs. Nice size rooms. I knew the family that used to live here when the father was the undertaker. I could not imagine sleeping just upstairs from a coffin. What is worse, once the kids moved out, the bedrooms became coffin show rooms. The racks are still in them. The saving grace for this is that the floors are solid. Those caskets are heavy.
Now, use your imagination. That beautiful woodwork, the craftsmanship. Once you get past the history, the skys the limit on possibilities.
Let me know what you think. I think a bed and breakfast, maybe a gift shop. Tear off the front "funeral home" part and add a beautiful wooden porch. WOW!
Anyway, updates on the farm next post.
Until then,
See ya on the farm
