While at the Carnegie Library in Boulder, I asked for a document relating to Willamette's father, Anthony. This started a conversation with the librarian. She told me about the house Willamette built and the interesting story behind it. Then she said I just had to go by and see the house, so I did.
The Arnett-Fullen house, built in 1877 by Willamette Arnett, is on the National Register of Historic Places. The story on the Arnett-Fullen House website really is interesting.
The original stepping block used to board a carriage or horse is still in front of the house. I like to think Daniel came by to visit and used this very step.

I am looking for a fiction book written about a girl who lived in the Arnett-Fullen house, looked in a mirror in one of the bedrooms on the second floor and was taken back to the 1800's. I owned the book several years ago and it has since been lost and I would love to find another copy of it.
ReplyDeleteIs there someone who is familiar with this book, I do not remember the title or the author, but I believe the author was in Boulder

I haven't heard of a book like that but I certainly will keep my eyes open and ask around. Sounds like a book I would enjoy!
