Why in the world, would someone mess up a beautiful Stone house, by putting sideing on it. Was about to jump on it Until I seen what they did to it. So much for Historic House.

If you are talking about the Google Map picture, the home Google lands on is not this house. This house is down the street. No siding was torn off.

Google Map does not always land on the exact house. This house is a few houses down the street, and it has the original limestome.
