Henry VIII 9 wood
Our New Apartment (well, at least the bar)
We’ve made the move!
Lorna and I are living in an historic house, in an apartment. Originally called West Chester, and built 1901-1903, then called the D.S.Chamberlain House, and since early in the 20th Century, Wesley Acres (now called Wesley Grand, because it fronts on Grand Avenue). It was designed by Boston architect William George Rantoul, who based his design on half timbered houses in Chester, England.
Pictured in a 360/720 panorama above, this is the bar that residents as well as neighborhood people or anyone passing through can avail themselves of. The term “residents” refers to the retirement community that lives here, of which Lorna and I are members.
Chamberlain himself made his money selling patent medicine which, back then, could include chloroform, ether, and other questionable ingredients. It was supposed to cure flatulence.
In following panoramic episodes, I’ll be showing our apartment, my office, and the grounds about the building, and other places of interest. If you are interested in more historical information, look up West Chester or Chamberlain Mansion, Des Moines, Iowa in Wikipedia.
