REMEMBER WHEN . . .

(Did this not recall any memories (comments) to anyone??????


Dennis jr. came upon this site last night and forwarded it to me. WOW how things have changed. When we visited a few years back they were just beginning the renovation. When the Agle jr.'s went for their 25th anniversary Dennis said they were a long way from where it is now. Anyway, here is the site that you can look around yourself,(http://www.royalconnaughtpark.com) or just check out the pictures I've posted. Now as then, it will probably be a great place to live, but a tad more expensive. 1 mil+ pounds.
I think they have done a wonderful job.  They had to keep the integrity of the outside because of it is listed on the historical register.

They've given all the areas names like York, Windsor, King Edward, Devonshire, etc.  Our house is called the JFK area.  You know how those Irish loved JFK.  (It is an Irish group that is developing the property).
There was a lot of restoration work that had to be done on the outside.  Very costly.  All my beautiful roses are gone, but the entrance looks lovely.



The swimming pool never looked so good. 
Great job.

Not quite like the bathrooms we had!



Our house (now apt 6, first floor only) is the bottom right, (black & grey).  The living room is smaller and the kitchen is where the dining room was and a bedroom where the kitchen was.  Bathroom is same and then to the left, they've made another bedroom and bathroom from part of the great room.  Apt 8, bedroom 1 is where Ken had his bedroom.
