Queen Anne's (Pa)Lace

This B&B used to advertise with us when I worked at the AIA. Now it's for sale. Unfortunately, I'm a bit shy of the $2.5 million asking price.

Care to invest? There's room for everyone: over 13,000 square feet, including 16 bedrooms and 8 baths, with 3 acres of grounds. The original elevator is intact, but it's manual (i.e., rope pulled), so I'll need volunteers to haul me up and down. In classic robber-baron style, the house was built overlooking the family's iron foundry; hopefully the view has improved over the past 120 years.

Still unconvinced? Watch the slide show.
