Fairlawn

Fairlawn was built in 1891 for 150,000.00. Martin Pattison was a wealthy lumber and mining baron. The 42 room mansion was built in the popular Queen Anne Victorian style. In 1963 the city of Superior purchased Fairlawn for 12,500.00. Took 1.6 to return Fairlawn back to a single family home after it had been used as a home for poor children and unwed mothers. ( for 42 years after Pattison died )

O.k. so that's the educational part of my trip, that might be the only thing you learn from this blog.

Does that make me an Airline baron?
