Springfield Tour

[Eva Elisabeth]

Thanks, Joe and Laurie, for your comments on the size of the beds. I wonder if the high frame adds to the misleading impression?!

Joe, please pardon me, what does 3/4 scale mean - 1/4 of the rooms were "skipped", or a 4m wall was shortened to 3m (which would be my actual understanding of "scale")? What about the height of the ceiling in the latter case?

What is now at the original place where the Edwards' home once stood? And what was the fate of the original house?
