And frankly the house is so big that they might as well just get rid of all of the grass. It will need deep, deep mixed borders to integrate it into its site.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14731145.post-1158002829557228802006-09-11T15:27:00.000-04:002006-09-11T15:27:00.000-04:00What a beautiful old house!

What a magnificent place. I have enjoyed your pictures. Brooklyn is a lot more interesting to me since you have shown its “hidden” side. Like most I had pre-conceived notions of what is there. You have done a lot to dispel those notions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11602157551486306908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14731145.post-1157979608158578662006-09-11T09:00:00.000-04:002006-09-11T09:00:00.000-04:00This is a diamond in the rough.
