Description

this house was lovely but you had to pay to get in. there was a guard we saw outside. myrrhluz and her brother in law was there at the time. We did not go in as it costs money plus it was Saturday which the sign say it was open but we did not go in. I thinking of going back there as they had a lot of Museumâ��s are...wonder if you can take a camera in. why not there photos of people at Wal Mart on the web. spent all day getting things ready to to start painting in real paints and still not ready lol. got to clean out a room yet to start painting. Plus spent a lot of time on the printer printing recipes of jerky. Plus other recipes. even find one on Popeye's biscuits and other chain food places recipes.

That is a beautiful house! I can understand the need to pay, as it costs money to maintain the building and inside. Great capture

Beautiful capture! Lovely detail and color! I'd like to go in sometime too. I wonder if you can tour the oddly shaped little rooms at the top.

Looks like a wonderful home Jock, and it is a shame they charge to see it

Oh that is just lovely! I personally love houses like this. I love visiting historical places, but it makes it hard to visit having to pay. Although, I understand they have to pay for care of the place. Fabulous capture!

the museum in Alvin that my great grand father built does not allow cameras but since I was a relative the curator let me take shots.very ornate house Jock and wonderful shot The 14,000 square-foot home was built in 1894 in Orange, Texas, by William Henry Stark and his wife, Miriam M. Lutcher Stark, prominent philanthropists who occupied the home until 1936. Designed in the Queen Anne architectural style, the house features a distinctive turret, stained glass windows, and ornate woodwork in cypress and long leaf yellow pine. Today, the three-story structure stands much as it did at the turn of the 20th century, with fifteen rooms of original family furnishings, personal effects and decorative arts, including antique rugs, original textiles, silver, cut glass, and antique porcelain. Also featured are the Stark family’s impressive collections of American Brilliant Period cut glass, pressed and pattern glass, milk glass, porcelains, and other 18th and 19th century decorative accessories. The interior of both the W.H. Stark House and its adjacent Carriage House depicts the home life of the Starks in the early 1900s and provides an extraordinary statement of Texas’ http://www.whstarkhouse.org/
