My grandfather is Grace McCurley Ensor's cousin. My mother told me she went through the house in the late 70's when i was quite young and said the house was fantastic! I'm so glad to hear the house is being restored. I would love to see the house since i was in it at a very young age. My mom said the ball room was amazing! Grace also had a full time housekeeper who lived in the house so she thought. I would give anything for a tour.

Good to hear this icon of Alva is being restored. It's always been my dream home ever since I knew of it's existence. During the 30s when it was vacant I used to slip in the house and wander through it. I remember marvelimg at the huge fire place in the basement and the murals on the walls. I also have fond memories of Evelyn, a grade lower at AHS. Ah, as the late great Archie Bunker was fond of saying, "Those were the days. Best of luck on completeing the restoration, I'll check in on it next time I visit the old home town. Bill Barker
