The House of the 7 Gables...


Sounds like an intriguing place to visit. I just recently returned from this place (via reading the Nathaniel Hawthorne classic). Salem, MA is the town where this is known to be located and I actually found the "house" that you can visit....

I really enjoyed the book, (for some reason I missed reading this in High School or College). It took me a bit to get"hooked" into the story, but I loved the characters and the somewhat eerie background themes. The story had a neat & tidy ending, too. I am looking forward to reading "The Scarlet Letter" again. You may want to look up a daguerreotypist before you begin the stoy, lol.
