    Back from vacation

    We had a great time and the weather couldn't have been better. I came home to a dead computer and just got it out of the shop today.
    The 35,000 sq ft mansion at Rosario Resort was built in 1905 by Robert Moran, a Seattle ship builder, for $2.5 million 1905 dollars. Beautiful mahogany paneling and teak floors every where you look.
    Here are a few pictures of things I found interesting. I have a ton more that are still in the camera.

    I thought that the lounge chair was unique, there were 4 of them on the veranda. If anyone would like high res pictures PM me.

    The dresser impressed me as well, never seen anything like it.

    Lastly a shot of some paneling in the music room which is dominated by 1,972 Aeolian Pipe Organ.

      Some great pictures Dick, a really cool place. Those chairs are unique, and showing their age. I like the through tenons on the arms. Joints look a little crusty, maybe residue from cleaning. The dresser looks like it should have a set of instructions. That paneling is gorgeous. You going to move in there?
