Moody Mansion Tour - August 18th, 2014

Tour the Moody Mansion for our first historical tour of the day

Finally come early enough to join a tour after 2 prior attempts

Check out the three Moody cars on display in the large garage

1949 Cadillac Fleetwood "60" Special

The newest car on display is a 1953 Cadillac Coupe de Ville "Styleline"

Alright, who stole the hubcaps?

The final car is a 1931 Studebaker Dictator 8

It is not a Moody car unless it is green . . . envy?

Watch a video on the Moody family to start the $10 tour (Mavis $8)

Narcissa Willis had the mansion built to keep up with Jones around her

Had to live on the north side of Broadway if you were important

Like newer McMansions, the house took up most of the yard

Plenty of room for parking for hosted parties at the mansion

Brick wall hid the clothes lines in the drying area

Children's Museum flooded to the level of the blonze plaque during Ike

Carriages dropped their visitors off here and they climbed the stairs

Around the side porch to view the stairs to the front door

View of Broadway from the corner enclosed porch

Front yard with wall hiding the drying area

Stephen and Mavis enter the mansion after putting away their cameras

No photos inside, but found the stairway stained glass online

An hour later, we exit the mansion and pose on the stairway

Mavis' kinda house as long as someone else cleans it

Wait for a break in traffic to get a photo from the middle of Broadway

Corner shot with our tour members getting a porch group photo

Back of the house from the parking lot, off to lunch!
