What a beautiful old home, circa 1898. The best description I could use would also describe the plants in the dining room - wilted and almost dead from lack of attention. There's a gorgeous rounded leaded glass window, beautiful columns, pocket doors, fireplaces. It's a beautiful mansion but has seen better days and with the cost of upkeep - I think it's future is in question. Worn out and ripped up floors, our shower quit working mid-visit. And be warned - there are many steps to be negotiated, so if you have a problem with stairs, it is not for you. If you want to see a neat old home before it's gone, stay there. But if you want comfort, good air conditioning and service, look elsewhere. Corsicana is a neat small town - lots of things to do and see - well worth a trip.
