I'm 67 years old, have travelled a great deal all over the United States and can say that this may very well be the most beautiful house I've ever seen---at least from the outside; the way it presents from the street is ineffably effective. I was so impressed with my first viewing a couple of months ago---while passing through Sheffield for the first time on a long-distance road trip---that I went back for a closer view on another trip just a few days ago. Again, I saw the house only from the outside but walked around, took a snapshot and inquired about the house from folks at the local library and businesses. I commend the new owners for what,I understand, they are trying to do in restoring this magnificent structure to something as close as possible to its original appearance. What they've achieved already is pretty impressive. The combination of original design and current restoration must set a new standard for the celebration of American residential architecture.<br /> I'd rather gaze at this single house than all the Frank Lloyd Wright's in the country.

And for the last 3 years I have been on a search for this school and had no luck finding it up in till yesterday. With tears in my eyes. It brought back si many memories that i wish I could relive. This is amazing I wish to visit this building next year sometimes or at lease look at it again. I would love to look at the long stair way that I had to walk up every morning just to get to the school. That has been over 18 years ago when I went to this school.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13259219769086813825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284868675808574544.post-37885276860452093732016-05-30T08:36:28.794-04:002016-05-30T08:36:28.794-04:00There are...do a search for Chilton House.

I had a lot of good memories there and a lot not so great. There was one teacher and her assistant that worked there that were a little too trigger happy at wrestling kids to the ground and lay on them while the children screamed they couldn't breath. Also sucked that the only bathrooms in there were in the basement so you were screwed if you had to go in a hurry. I'd love to see the building one last time though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03303819606858154251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284868675808574544.post-69643378851085173662016-04-25T13:40:22.184-04:002016-04-25T13:40:22.184-04:00I remember bill he was the best janitor ever ...he...I remember bill he was the best janitor ever ...he always gave me candy Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10154023133649098310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284868675808574544.post-82132346662850271022016-04-13T18:41:38.575-04:002016-04-13T18:41:38.575-04:00beyond gorgeous and awesome it was saved by someon...beyond gorgeous and awesome it was saved by someone who appreciated it...but do you know anything about the coal region?

From the post on Sept 17/2010, I thought there wasn't going to be a business because it wasn't allowed? Anyway, I wish the current owners well on finding a new place big enough to continue the business they currently run. No wonder they're selling it; from my understanding, it would take a lot of money to fix this place up. With all due respect, until one lives in such a big place, you don't realize how much work is involved. My house is less than half this one, and it's a lot to keep up! I don't envy them in the least bit. Hopefully, someday it will be restored to its original splendor - before it gets too far gone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284868675808574544.post-17912681339586923122016-03-06T18:10:13.453-05:002016-03-06T18:10:13.453-05:00Hi, I'm the Listing Agent for this wonderful p...Hi, I'm the Listing Agent for this wonderful property and I'm happy to answer any questions about this house.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17980250462512791383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284868675808574544.post-28271683414732772312016-02-05T20:50:15.469-05:002016-02-05T20:50:15.469-05:00I went to school here from 1960 through 1965.
