Wish you Were Here! Postcards from the Gilded Age
Morton Freeman Plant residence at Groton, Connecticut. |
Here is a store on eBay, GILDED MANSIONS that is selling some cards from my
collection. As I digitize them to share on my blogs and Facebook group, I
am happy to let them go to others who I hope will discover the same
wonder and amazement that I had as a child and still do for this
magnificent period of architectural history and lifestyle called the,
“Gilded Age”.
