historic NO than VA. Way too big and high for me, I like cozy, but I don't doubt they fill all of it. Heilemann's is nicely crisp and modern. A different style for living big.
I love Google maps and am happily snoopy from our own nest. Last week I was disappointed that I couldn't "stroll" around the village Kamala's Tamil grandfather was originally from, just land on photographed points. Like Carville and Matalin, President-Elect Biden likes old houses and used to enjoy working on them himself. He renovated/had renovated the most ambitious, an abandoned mansion, over 24 years. He and Jill built their main, lakeside house (below) new in Wilmington, DE, though, and it's apparently where the basement he famously "hides" in is.
