Merry Christmas

I was asked through a PM to again post some photos of our home as we do it for Christmas.
House built and occupied in 1895 By a multimillionaire named Howard T. Janney.
His photo is to the right of the sitting room fireplace.
His wife Laura lived to 99 years old and died in 1969 on a huge farm of theirs East of Montoursville, PA
We started small then one year we decided to celebrate the beautiful Architecture of the home in a Currier and Ives manner.
Since then we have had tours of the home and every year tour busses come by as well as hundreds of private drive by's to enjoy the lights.
In the summer when working in the front yard I am frequently asked if we will decorate again as so many make it a family and friends affair to come by and take out of state viewers. And some people who have seen it online have come from out of state to see the house and leave messages on the porch.
We enjoy doing it but sadly as I age it looks to be coming to an end as the difficulty of the exterior is getting harder.
1. Front and partial North side.
2. South side.
3. Front Foyer.
4. Living Room.
5. Living Room Pump Organ used to play carols during tours.
6. Sitting Room fireplace.
7. Dining Room.
8. Guitarist playing carols for visitors.
9. Wife and sister playing tour guides as maids of the house (The actual original maid was Sarah Brinks ca. 1899).
Enjoy.

Absolutely wonderful, home, decor and photos. Except for the Christmas decorations, several views are very like what I remember of my Great Grandfather's house. Many thanks for sharing!
