We first viewed our new home in February 2011. With no heat, it was a bit chilly at -15, even indoors. Is it possible to fall in love with a building? This old house has a bunch of little rooms, unlike modern open floor plans. Although I love open floor plans, to me, this means a lot of wall space for hanging artwork!
I was a little nervous when we first considered moving to this town. I had heard of it, but had never been here. It seemed so far away compared to the cities. How would I survive being so far away from everything?! How could I cope being away from everyone I knew?
As it turns out, our town is a hidden city. Quite the hidden gem. The longer I’ve lived here, the more I’ve loved it. We have all the local amenities with a lot of small town charm. It’s great! I’d say the only downfall is that we live off a highway, so it can get a bit noisy.
Here are some images of our first viewing!
While waiting for the realtor to arrive, we checked out the local mill.
The falls were beautiful.
The mist from the falls created a beautiful scene in the immediate area with everything glazed in ice.

We had the oven open and on because it was so cold!
Future Studio. Lots of bright light!

Other half of the room. I love the little cubbies in the wall!
My lens started to fog over from the difference of being in the car and wouldn’t focus. Brrr! This is the only image I got of the lobby though.

Am I the only one a little disturbed by the warning on water heaters.

I didn’t bring a tripod for low light, but the basement had several holes in the wall where we could see outside!
The floor has drainage ditches all around the edges.
