Rushwater House was a large, rather Gothic house built by Mr Leslie's grandfather.  Its only outward merit was that it might have been worse than it was. ~ Angela Thirkell

    Bridgeport CT is just down the road a bit... I wonder if that house is still there.

    I love these big old houses! Umpteen bedrooms, and *one* bathroom tucked away someplace. And the kitchens! Dear heaven! Talk about wife-killers! You could walk miles just fixing breakfast.

    All of those back halls and back staircases, because God forbid anyone should ever see cooking or housework being done.
