It’s amazing the things you learn and the people you meet on Facebook. I have been working on the homes in Colonial Place, Norfolk for many years. I’ve done slate & shingle roofing, carpentry, home additions, bath remodels, siding , etc…I knew it was a historical neighborhood but I didn’t realize that one of the cool people that I was connected to on Facebook was the Colonial Place Historian! Rose Thornton has written a book about the homes there and has done 100’s of lectures on them!
If you love this stuff, like I do, check her post out about The Kit Homes of Colonial Place. Click Here: http://www.searshomes.org/index.php/2011/02/19/the-kit-homes-of-colonial-place-norfolk-virginia/
