The Historical Lebold Mansion has a story to tell.
Inside She's decorated to beat the band.
I did a post about her early on.

Built in 1880, she has CURB appeal.
I think my dream home is on a plot the size of this one.
A fenced yard like this would be sweeeeeeet.
Abilene, Kansas is her HOME.
I've toured her twice, but believe she is no longer allowed to be toured by the Public.
She was sold in September 2010.
SHUCKS,

When we saw her last she had wind damage to her structure.
We went up into this tower many years ago
and looked out above the tops of buildings.
It was super hot that day, but thought it a treat
to be in that part of the house.

| internet pic I truly believe that this is a fine example of how a Formal Parlour would have had her furniture arranged. Library tables were the center of the room or the focal point where Family members would have gathered around. The Devan or Sofa would have been pushed up against a wall, much like you see here. Every up and coming proper member of society would have had books and curios sitting about as well as in a cabinet to display their wealth. |

You've been sharing many beautiful historic homes in your area. It's making me want to go on a road trip to see them! Have a great week. Hope the cool weather will be arriving soon. How about you?♥♫
That's some house... historic for sure. Twice over, that 51 ft tower sits on top of the Hershey dugout, using it as it's the foundation, which we got to see in the basement when we toured.
Probably the most complete restoration to the era I have ever seen.

Oh I'd love to tour that house too! I love visiting historic homes and enjoyed reading about the Eisenhower house too! I really think I need to visit Kansas again!

I absolutely LOVE that house! I have several Victorian magazines with it featured it them. Are the current owners the guys from San Francisco or did they sell it? I going to check out your other link to the house too!
Thanks for sharing,
Gina
UPDATE: The owners that did so much remodeling to return this house to her former glory, placed the house on the market in which it did sell. As of September 1, 2015, I think it is on the market once again. If I win the lottery….she's mine!
