I was certain that this was the Dark Shadows house form the original TV series. But in the dark shadows of my memory, I was mistaken. I think we aborted the mission before we photographed the Dark Shadows house due to the freezing drizzle on the clifftops. So here's me in front of a grand mansion that looks very similar to the Dark Shadows mansion, but alas is not THE one. I might keep pretending that I've been there, can you guys keep a secret? Otherwise Barnabas might come for you ;)
Love this mansion--I can see why you were taken with it. Great b/w pic of you too and the touch of color in the hair is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sabine! I know, I was SO sure it was THE one. I just found out when I fact-checked before posting, so I've been living the lie for a few months now haha!

This mansion is a little bit scary, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteOh no! It's beautiful!! I love old houses though... One day I'll have one, with a library!

ReplyDeleteThis is actually the back of the Salve Regina College which is right down the coast from Seaview Terrace, the actual Collinwood from the show. Up until a couple years ago, Salve Regina leased Seaview as a dorm for its students and the house was known as Cecilia Hall to them. Thankfully the college moved out and the Carey family took it back over. The students had no respect for the house and did a lot of damage to it.
