The Wunderkammer of the Mild Colonial Boy, Esq., a Reactionary Tory Gentleman, who armed only with a Steampowered Babbage Engine and Pure Intentions, wanders the Time Streams and Aetheric Plane gathering an Eccentric Hodgepodge of Curiousities, Frivolities, Whimsicalities and Nonsense.

Q. Why is your Tumblelog called "My Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck by Lightning"?

A. Because "My Grandmother's Ear-Trumpet Has Been Struck by Lightning" wouldn't fit in the available space.

memoriastoica: Exterior view of the Hale House, a “Carpenter Gothic” style structure. Designed by George W. Morgan and built in 1887, this home was declared a historic monument by the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Board in June 1966. It is called an “outstanding example of the late Victorian period in Los Angeles… and embodies the essence of most of the typical features of this historic style.” It was first located at 4501 North Figueroa (originally Pasadena Avenue), then moved to 4425 North Figueroa, the location shown here. It is being readied to be moved to Heritage Square Museum. Circa 1970.
