All I saw was "walmart" and "marathon". Kidding but a very eclectic and forced picturesque house. Not a fan.
As the wife said to her husband ~ "I'm heading to Walmart, hon." :-)
Prescient
From the first photo I imagined it overlooking a large rural lake, however when viewed on Bing, it is in fact overlooking a large puddle. Strangely spooky, rustic, rambling heavy and odd. RT
Charming !!! Right out of a Storybook !!!
My grandmother, Bertha Spencer, worked as a nanny at Walmarthon. She took care of Charles S. Walton's children during World War I. I have many beautiful photos of the estate. Sheila Roberts, sroberts101a@yahoo.com
