Downtown fireworks shows are enjoyed from here on New Year's Eve and Fourth of July. You can see ships cruise by occasionally from this balcony as we are only 1 block from the Mississippi River.
For those that love old houses, ours has its original fireplace mantles, pocket doors, stained glass windows, restored wood windows, staircase, floors, doors with transoms, original doorknobs, and woodwork throughout. These features made us fall in love with the house as soon as we laid on eyes on her. She was a diamond in the rough when we found her as a blighted house. This is now our home and we are happy to be able to share it when we are out of town.
