    Good memories, interesting photos

    We sent this book to a friend, and decided it was so interesting that we bought one for ourselves too. Lots of historical photos, interesting facts, and memories galore. Lovely presentation too. It's fun to see how the properties have changed over the years, and how the designs and styles have changed too.
