It sounds full of determination and conditions. :) And owned by General Patton! Full of history, I'd say as well! I am amazed at how many details you find in the places you visit during walks, Sage.

Lovely. I also ran into that same sad discovery about those that steal when we stayed at a 4 or even 5 star place in Jackson, Mi. and they had a refrigerator and microwave but no coffee pot in the room! What! I know that coffee isn't always the best but seriously! Thanks for this side trip for me this morning, I always enjoy your little jaunts when you share them with us. That photo is dreamy. ALSO, thanks for bringing the story about Marta Becket to life for me. Wow, what an amazing woman and I can't believe I haven't been to that very theater yet!
