The "Castle"

This is the Van Deusen Mansion, or part of it. It is for sale, and because of that, it is being called a "Castle", but it really isn't. Castles are much bigger. And older. This was build in 1892 in the Richardson "Romanesque chateauesque" style and originally owned by George W. Van Deusen and his family. He was a wealthy businessman.





Maybe she can take more pictures when mama goes back to the clinic on Tuesday. There is a covered place where carriages can drive up and passengers get out and not get rained or snowed on. There is a modern addition which is boring.






There they are. Finally mama's pictures uploaded! It is nice and warm today, and I have been sitting in the window, okay, napping in the window most of this afternoon. I had to remind mama once again to fill my water dish. Help these days. Hard to keep trained.

Time to catch up on all the other gorgeous kitties! Hope your weekend is going well. Gentle headbumpies and purrs to all, of course, and purrayers for those who need them.

love,
brandi

That place looks haunted. Tell your mmma not to get too close to it.
