I also stayed there at both houses in 2000 + 2001. They were very kind people.

In any case, I remember being surprised to see such a lovely old frame house in such good condition in NYC. It was so charming, set back from the street. French empire style, and gingerbread veranda, so familiar in Quebec, Canada (where I live). The manager of the bed and breakfast said it had been in her family for a long time (though I am no longer sure whether she meant number 15 or number 17 or whether my memory is playing tricks on me). Viewing the two buildings in Google street view (there is still an empty lot on the other side of number 15), I am fairly certain I've correctly remembered the location. Is there a relationship between the two buildings?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-91777779184738628502015-09-17T15:40:03.601-07:002015-09-17T15:40:03.601-07:00The building was sold this past summer.The building was sold this past summer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-3817958138068842322015-01-29T07:15:50.894-08:002015-01-29T07:15:50.894-08:00It was on the market that year (the listing is whe...It was on the market that year (the listing is where the interior shot came from).

A friend mentioned that she was in Harlem today and I thought of this house, where my great-aunt and great-uncle (the Seeleys) lived for so many years.

I've only been through NYC once back in 1980. I was scared to stay there having arrived by car at 3 am and seen some incredible things (I'm from Oklahoma, at that that point I'd lived a relatively sheltered - limited - life). I'm determined to visit NYC again one day - Brits who have done the tourist thing rave about it. Bill and I about broke our necks looking up and photographing Chicago (another scary place) a couple of years ago and I'm sure that NYC would be even better. I'll be back! (BTW - I do love your very first post about the 'old ladies'.)Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.com
