Items related to An Old House in Galena
Judy Sutcliffe and Sandy Scott bought an old house in Galena, IL, and a new life. It came with moss and millipedes, old wood stoves, crumbling mortar, a squirrel in the chimney, a property line through the kitchen, and no closets. It also provided a lovely, livable, charming home with colorful, stone-walled gardens in what locals term The House of Seven Gables. Living in an historic home (earliest section over 180 years old) has its everyday adventures, and that's what this book is about, with short chapters easy to dip into for a quick read and a chuckle.
