I think it would be fun to live in a mansion like this , but the maintenance in trying to keep the old time look may be pricey.

my grandmother, Myrtle Gordon Scott, managed this house when it was operated as an apartment building under the ownership of Viola Dismukes during the 1960's. The movie Viva Max was filmed during that time, and during a panoramic sweep from the house across the street (portrayed as a gift to the mistress of the hero), my grandmother was caught on film while sweeping the front porch. I have many happy memories of this place… but I do miss the beautiful pink cabbage rose bushes that used to flank the arched gate.
