Under The Glass The world through my lenses

West side

The west side of Leominster has some great big homes. This one was built in 1910 and has 6700 square feet of living space and 15 rooms. A former co-worker owns this house and I remember him telling me that it was a money pit when he bought it back in 1998. Guess there was a leak in the roof that he had to take care of. The leak did damage to a lot of the walls which were built with horsehair plaster. Horsehair plaster is an inferior technique that never worked well.

On a side note....
We are in for a cold spell. Just looked at my thermometer and it is 3 degrees Fahrenheit, -16 Celsius outside. I will need to warm the car up before leaving for work today.
