    Have a Spare $1.6 Million ?

    I know many of you are tired of seeing Ebay items but this one is a bit different- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...303113157&rd=1

    Why don't you say what the item is?

      I don't really think this belongs here. I love that house, and have for many years, but in terms of the mission of this forum I don't think this post adds anything to the discussions. I am sorry if that sounds harsh.

      Now if someone wanted to start a discussion on 19th century architecture then I would be extremely interested :wink_smil

        I usually cruised by the house to see what was being done to it when in Gburg. Its a beaut and would be quite the Bed and Breakfast or dream house in Mecca.

        Lets see....2500 members of the forum divided into $1,600,000 - that's only $640 per - we could swing it and call it the Paul Calloway home for wayward Authentic Campaigners...an "old living historians home" we could all retire to eventually, as well as use it for a base when in Mecca for reunions :wink_smil

        Seriously, it is a beautiful home...not 1.6 million perhaps but close.

          Not to offend folks by keeping a seemingly off-topic thread going but..... This very house was also being hawked through the Civil War Courier (maybe it was the Times...one of those rags) and other such newspapers. The asking price was not listed in the ads so my curiousity has been satisfied with this eBay listing. Thanks for posting it..now I can sleep at night. :-)

            Is that the original configuration as laid out by the builder in the 1830's? The style is Victorian Gothic, but that circular porch looks kinda "Queen Anne-ish". Well worth the price. :wink_smil

                  Let the post stand, this ARE the sinks

                  I'm glad to see the listing, and since this IS the sinks, I have no problems with having it here. I hope that doesn't get anyone's knickers in a knot.

                  Unlike the usual eBay links in the past, this is different and concerns a property many of us have seen driving or marching down Confederate Avenue.

                    Nice Jackson-era wallpaper in the hallway. I wonder what that scene is on it [?] It looks like a military formation of some sort, with spectators.
