If It Fits, and Buchanan House
Brian and Brians dad over
at
can tell you that with cats,
"If it fits, cats will
sit"......
Lily is here to tell you that
is so true.
I was working on some bills and
stuff while sitting on the couch,
Lily jumped up beside me
and climbed into the plastic
shoe box that I keep my
receipts in.
Later I had to move so I sat it and
Lily in the floor.
Silly Lily.
Friday I did a shoot at Buchanan
House. I actually was there to
shoot an Q&A for Ms. Lillian,
for designers and paper hangers
(wallpaper).
But since Lillian is on the board of
the Buchanan House, and I have
shot for her and the house before.
Anyway, in between sections
of the Q&A I shot around
the house. Here are some pics
I got.
I would say that this light does
not go with the age of the house
but I thought this was pretty.
Best as I could tell, the log cabin
section is the original house.
A one room house.
At some point, or two or maybe
several add ons later it became
a larger home.
This is one wall in the main room.
With the add ons, bedrooms
were built above.
This cubbie was in one of the
bedrooms upstairs.
Notice the next door inside the
cubbie? Story goes, that
when the Indian's came
calling, mom, the original
Mrs. Buchanan would hide her
children in the second area of
the cubbie, and blankets piled
up in front of that second door, hiding
that part of the cubbie.
Story also goes that she saved
her children that way.
Some other homes that the
Indian's came calling on,
lost the children to the
Indian's.
Assuming this is Mrs. Buchanan.
In studying the layout of
the house I would say this was
originally the ouside of the
house. During a built on, this
became the kitchen/
dining area.

I would love to tour that home. I love looking at homes from years gone by.
Have a fabulous day and week, Pam. Scritches to the kitties. ♥
Isn't it amazing how all cats seem to like boxes!
Have a good week.
All the best Jan
