Shame such a shame that historical houses like this are not preserved in their former glory. Once they are gone, that's it. American Victorian architecture is outstanding.

I believe that a soldier or official was standing guard there while the authorities were inside the house. If he was coming from east, wouldn't he have approached from the right, facing the stairs? I'm perplexed as to why he didn't notice the carriage outside, unless he was that sleep deprived he could barely think straight. And another thing? If there was a guard there, why wasn't he challenged as he walked up the steps? Or was he? ‘I’ve danced at Abraham Lincoln’s birthday bash...
