Those flowers are the same ones on the red-tiled mantel in the “Main floor fireplace” photo above. I presume they are silk, but you never know…

The Bolton and Stoudt buildings are completely gone at this point. (12/1) Removal of the Asbestos siding, windows, etc. has commenced on the Briggs house but as of this afternoon the old girl was still standing. That will probably not be the case very, very soon though.

Did anyone notice the fresh bouquet of flowers seen through the banister under the hand. Demolition has started of the Bolton buildings across the street and I believe the Jackpot and Green House will be gone by 11-30-2011.

Did any one notice the transparent hand on the rail of the staircase besides me.

I just sent Preservation NC an e-mail requesting the necessary information for the purchase of Briggs House if it is still possible.
While there are several factors to be looked at, especially the timeline and what kind of work will be necessary, if this can be done it will be well worth it.

Ok, since it is still standing, I would take it to mean that it is still available. What is the best way to get in touch with the people that are actually selling the house? I know that it is to be moved to another site, but I neither mind or care. I want to buy it if I can.
