Progress on the analyzing of the Victorian house is going quite good. I'm learning so many new things that I didn't even know about my best friend's house, even though I've probably slept at her house 3 times a month since the 8th grade. I always knew about her house harbouring runaway slaves but I had never gone too much into detail with her. It's so interesting seeing where they used to hide them, except now it's patched up being that it's dangerous with her younger siblings.
Also, when I sat down with her mum and dad and talked to them about the history of the house, the brought out pamphlets and books written on the house and gave me dates of thse house (it was built in 1837). 1837! And I have slept there so many times and never actually thought about it. I feel guilty that I never considered it as a historical structure. Lastly, I was informed that Henry Ford used to stay at her house on his way up to his cottage. Henry Ford! I really do look at her house differently now. All this new information is so bizarre!
