Yes! The view from the roof is spectacular and it is really amazing to be standing in the same exact spot as McClellan did.

I like tyhe Bull Run tie-in Jon-Erik. Do you have any contact info? Remember, the story of the people who lived in the house, and what happened to them before during and after, is the focal point of the articles. A cool house alone won’t cut it ;-)

Scott – I did two Gettysburg houses in the first six installments, so I’m not sure when I’ll do another. And of course the Stone House is on my radar, as is Dogan.

Keith – despite the link, your note is still a little cryptic – care to expand? Where is Level Green, a little background?

Not yet, Craig, though both have been suggested.

Thanks Tracy. I try to move the locations around, and I recently did the Roulette farm. The Prys are interesting though, and their ties to the Cost family. And it would give somebody an excuse to let me on the roof of the house!

The Pry House at Antietam is a good choice if it hasn’t been done. It was McClellan’s HQ during the battle and a field hospital–Hooker was treated there and Richardson died there several weeks after the battle. The Pry family was ruined by the experience and ended up moving to Tennessee. The house is open to the public during the warmer weather (starting in May, I believe) and is owned by the Park Service and operated by the National Museum of Civil War Medicine.

At Perryville you’ve got the Bottom House (standing and restored), the Russell House (gone), and the Widow Gibson cabin (facsimile being rebuilt).
