Oh that is excellent news Carol. I'm so pleased!!!

I am a bit jealous that you managed to have a peak inside too - it sounds lovely.

What a great outcome!

Thanks Annie and Ruskie...It was a special moment ..there are so many photos out there and not enough of them find their way back home...but this is just one of many that I have had the pleasure of returning...albeit digitally in some cases.
I'm pleased that it hadn't been turned into a Nursing Home or multiple occupancy  ;D

Lovely ending (or is it just the beginning?) to the story,Carol.  :)

You really went above and beyond the call of duty on this one. So pleased that the photo is "home" and in good hands.

I agree. That was my concern when I saw how big the house was.

I feel very relieved and very happy that it has retained it's integrity.  ;D

 ;D ;D ;D...Stranger things have happened Annie...I wonder if his Grandchildren will read my letter and the postcard in years to come and think of the search to find the property as "primitive"  ;D ;D
If they ever move...I hope they leave the postcard and letter with the house!!!
