Victorian Mansion in East Berlin

This lovely Victorian House sits on Main Street of East Berlin, PA . Its called "The Bechtel Victorian Mansion". About 20 years ago, it was made into a Bed and Breakfast.

Our farm I grew up on is 6 miles from East Berlin. I found this photo on the web, when I was searching for something else. Amazing what you find, when you are looking for something else!
This was taken from an ad for Bed and Breakfasts in the Gettysburg/Harrisburg area. I remember when this house was fixed up and made into a Bed and Breakfast. My Mother often told us on our trips home, that it would probably be a neat thing to stay there one night. The price was high, and when home is near by, we didn't see the point. Maybe some day we might do it, just to see what it's like inside.

Interesting side note, the Bechtels who once owned this house, are related to us on Dad's side. However, not close enough that any of us knew them very well.
