A Carny's Dream Home


This amazing home, designed by Lawrence Joseph in the Storybook Style was built between 1946-1970.

In 1996 it was declared as an Historical-Cultural monument. As well it should, it has been inspiring me for over a week!

The current residents gave me a little tour of the amazing grounds the other day and I took so many photographs. All of the little nooks and cranny's were just irresistible and the work and detail that went into the building and design of the place was fascinating.

For example, all of the interior furniture is built-in like on a ship and all hand-made. There was even a little sketch drawing in the garage of a guy building the bedroom bureaus! I did not see much of the interior, but the outside was amazing and awe inspiring enough. No nails- can you imagine?

I am trying to direct traffic from brookeahanadaily over there so please do check it out when you can.
