The initial owner/renovators owned a travel agency which also operated from the ground floor- and were extremely active in community affairs. They played a big part in turning the shelter around. So...not all nice houses have bad "back stories".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-88179815838664487142010-08-04T13:45:25.612-04:002010-08-04T13:45:25.612-04:00Plus, it's close to Mars Bar!
