It would have made an excellent city-sponsored art school. A potentially spectacular building located in a great area. As a child I took art instruction in an old carriage house. It was a great use for a structure that otherwise would have been demolished.Rockinonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16466451909515114927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712133571153787239.post-76700088432305765872013-07-11T19:24:33.496-04:002013-07-11T19:24:33.496-04:00Thanks Rob.

I'm interested in local history and architecture, and your blog looks interesting - I'll have to check it out further. <br />For a long time now I've been driving by that house you mention and watched it crumble over the years - rather sad because many years ago I was in that house visiting a friend, a psychology prof who lived there back in the 1970s.<br />I'd noticed recently that there had been some work done on the site, but of course flashing by in the car I could never really tell what it was...so yesterday I made a point of checking it out and took my dog for a walk. What a pleasant surprise! A lovely job has been done - nice brick and stonework, and beautiful garden...and the labyrinth was a nice surprise. Despite the constant sound of the traffic, there was a sense of tranquility in that little hidden spot. I was impressed with the concept and the result - kudos to Sifton and the Home Builders group for a nice job. <br />Anyway, just thought I'd compliment you on your blog entry.<br />Rob Turner, London Rob Turnernoreply@blogger.com
