Took a day-after Thanksgiving trip to Oyster Bay, NY
Theodore Roosevelt built his home in 1885 with all the modern technology available of that day. However there was no electric power, so a windmill was used to pump water from the well to a holding tank on the third floor of the home to provide running water.

Great captures! I think that must be an interesting place to tour.
Well done set. Very pleasant.
