Our home burned down in 2002. Would anyone have any pics? I would greatly appreciate it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247901063913797133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809056835301186628.post-46942357060411404082013-06-16T01:35:24.570-05:002013-06-16T01:35:24.570-05:00I found the little house's history.

There are actually more here than the ones you've posted- there is one by the public library that is used for weddings, and a few other ones on the other streets...<br /><br />The Wohlden House used to be a hospital, if I remember correctly. The little house on the property had something to do with a doctor residing on the premises. I'd have to ask my parents. <br /><br />The Mosby Mansion has an underground tunnel underneath it that leads all the way around the Square and stops at the Courthouse. <br /><br />"Vanity Castle" has a little story behind it- with everyone who moves in, a fire happens, but only to the interior- there have been a lot of fires in that house, and it usually goes back up for sale within a year or so. My dad worked on that house tirelessly in the past to restore it after a few of the fires destroyed the upper floors.OrphenZidanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312629937356486273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809056835301186628.post-3112647019166812862013-06-12T22:30:35.675-05:002013-06-12T22:30:35.675-05:00I live in Canton.

If I'm not mistaken, the Wohlden House used to be a hospital in its younger days, and that little house on the grounds had something to do with the hospital part. I'll have to ask my parents. <br /><br />Also, underneath the Mosby Mansion is an underground tunnel that leads all over the square. <br /><br />There are a lot more mansions than this in Canton- you'll have to look for them- there is one near the public library that is used for weddings.

My friends Shirley and Tina and I are considering that for our Fall Fling!<br />Shirley took me to the Flea Mkt for the first time about 15 years ago. I was astounded! It is fabulous!
