Happy 200th birthday white city mansion!  Here’s a few recent pics!

Hey everyone!  Haven’t posted in a long time and hope everyone’s well!  I’m trying to track down someone from the Speciale family to see what they know about the Chinese lantern off the terrace. We dug down to move it out of the poison ivy and it seems to be concreted to what looks like May be a koi pond!  Trying to get some info if anyone knows, or knows someone from the family that can fill us in!  The house turned 200 year old this year (2020). If you can give us any info please email me at rx7suzy@yahoo.com!

Talk about History!!! a TON of new articles loaded to the website!

So a dear friend of mine was as enthralled by the Manse as the rest of us and took on a project at the library's archives.  She took copies of all of the articles she found on the house and made me a beautiful scrapbook that now resides in our living room for all to see.

She was also thoughtful enough to provide PDFs of each of the articles!

I have loaded jpgs of all of the articles into a new album on the website, and the pdfs of each of the articles are available on the right rail of the home page.  They're sorted by year and cover everything from naming the park, to raffling a baby to "sunday sins" and closing of the park.   Anyone who's interested in the park should take some time and peruse the articles, they are SO cool!

The link to the website is www.whitecitymansion.com.

Enjoy!!!

Update May 2013!

Hi all. Haven't posted lately but I did load photos of a few new projects!  Last year we put up a pool and redid both decks. We had the house painted and shutters installed. Finished the sunroom floor and now trying to decide how to finish the ceiling!

All is well from the top of the hill!

Check out the new album on www.whitecitymansion.com for photos and also note the park map for white city amusement park!  So cool!!   I have a ton of new articles to post and will do that soon!!

Have a great spring and I hope everyone gets a chance to walk the park. The birds are abundant this spring!!
