A lot of that furniture looks like antiques, or at least nice replicas. If I had been there someone would have had to keep me on a tight leash so I didn't steal the furniture.

The positioning on a lot of those shots are fantastic.

I don't take stuff from places I visit, except occasional souveniers, like an old postcard or a box of matches, or a glass fuse. I think these places are so beautiful, and I want to leave them that way.

Suggesting...

Are you cropping these?
Please put the original near the crop...
The whole picture is just as amazing as your crops! (i adore details of rooms!)
The ghost shot is amazing and leaves "us" wanting more.

Awsome job...more!

A few of these are cropped...the ghost shot is not cropped. I took a few photos from that angle, some had more details of the room, but ultimately I picked the one that I liked best as a self-portrait :)

Oh my! What a beautiful place! And all the lonely furniture! I would have to bring it home with me to keep it company!

Oh yeah, I came to see more pics from a photo community.

Very nicely done. I think the hallway's my favorite right now. And you're quoting Winter's Tale, which is different kinds of impressive. Mind if I add you?

Oh, beautiful pictures! Where in upstate is this... I am from there and know of a couple places, but this doesn't look familiar.
