That’s so sad. We often never know what’s transpired in places we visit. I’m sorry you lost Bruce and Sierra.
It was a very long time ago. Ancient history now.
I enjoyed the photos and the video tour, Sherry. It’s hard knowing the sad history. It must be harder for you having known Sierra. Crimes like this are senseless and the sadness lingers. I am glad to see it’s now an art gallery.
I feel that the wisteria is a memorial to them. I’m also pleased to see the interior hasn’t been gutted like so many other town houses around here.
I agree on both points.
