2243 Franklin Street

Greetings to the few lonely souls who somehow make it to this corner of the world wide web. As many of you know, Annelisa and I recently bought a new house. Not that the house is new; it was built in 1888, the year that Benjamin Harrison narrowly defeated Grover Cleveland in a close presidential election. At the time Colorado had been granted statehood a mere twelve years earlier and the state was still full of miners and mountain men. Although we don't know much about the 121 year history of our house, we do know that several years ago it fell into disrepair and was eventually abandoned for a period of time. Earlier this year an investor bought the dilapidated old house, renovated it, and sold it to the aforementioned young couple eager for some land where they could put down some roots. It is a new and exciting experience for us and we are looking forward to making this house our new abode. We are deeply grateful to our loving and supportive families who have helped make this opportunity possible for us.

Without further ado, here is our little house on 2243 Franklin Street:
