A beautiful window into the past from @hoodmansionsociety ....and perhaps a candle to light image. . This is a photo that was taken in the early 1900s of the main hallway in Hood Mansion. Notice the light that hangs from the center of the ceiling; the mansion was not wired for electricity until the 1960s and there were never gas lights either. We were told that this particular lamp was from the 1850s, and used candles as a way to light a room. . #savehoodmansion #savethemansion #historicphotos #preservation #historicpreservation #architecture #historicarchitecture #candlelamp #history #historicpreservation, #BrickStory, #storystylesoul, #architecture #historicpreservation, #househistory, #travelamerica, #castle, #preservation, #historichome, #oldhouselove, #dreamhome, #americanhome, #americanhistory, #americanpride, #thisoldhouse, #mansion, #ancestry, #storyteller Tell us your story...

This is the beautiful Barnes Hiscock Mansion located on James Street. It has a deep, rich history that not many people know about. How about the fact it was built in 1853? That is 8 years BEFORE the Civil War. That's 28 years before electricity was first used! The Mansion was the home of George & Rebecca Barnes, ardent abolitionists who fought extremely hard to end slavery. The Mansion is now on the register of Historic Places and Part of the Underground Railroad. We as a community are so lucky to still have this piece of history we can tour.
