I used to go past this huge old house on Miller's Mill Road in Constantine, Michigan once in a while and always wondered about it. It appeared to be pretty old and has another part on back that makes it like two houses put together. Yesterday, we were returning from a trip to Kalamazoo and I asked to stop and get some pictures of it. When we pulled off, I saw someone was working on it, tearing off the porch on the right. I got out and asked if I could take some pictures. The young couple seemed kind of suspicious and asked why. I said I thought it was such a neat old place and that I had photographed it before. They said OK and I started to walk around looking at it. Then they came out and apologized profusely for seeming unfriendly. Apparently, the county has told them that the place was being condemned and would be torn down if they didn't do something with it. They said that there had been many people taking pictures, I guess to prove that it was too shabby to stay standing. Then the girl's father appeared and told me it had been in his family for many generations and they wanted to restore it. The daughter had just gotten married and they wanted to live in it. It was built in the 1850's and is a wonderful place. They then offered to show me inside. I loved it so much because most everything was still original. I think at some point these windows had been replaced and the original ones were the six over six you see on the porch. When I was first talking to the guy he mentioned putting vinyl siding on it but I think that was because that's what he thinks people want to hear. I think with a fresh coat of paint and some cosmetic repairs it will not bother the neighbors anymore. They were also wanting to keep the slate roof, which made me very happy. I sure hope to be able to help in any way I can. The timing for finding them here was perfect and we hit it off right away. Next picture shows the parlor trim which is fabulous!
