It has gorgeous atmosphere, with a former choir loft, a pot bellied stove, a spiral staircase to two upper balcony levels filled with books, open to a ceiling with beautiful architectural details like plaster medallions and stained glass windows - all a perfect backdrop to shelves upon shelves of books and comfy chairs scattered round, to read them in!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10085096845244336020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-82647641268139275052019-03-13T22:59:28.274-04:002019-03-13T22:59:28.274-04:00Montreal or Toronto Canada because I love both.

I've always wondered about it's background. Also in Akron, OH there is Stan Hywett Hall. With it's history it is sure to be a great place for a mystery.

My aunt used to live in Coral Gables, FL, and we went to Parrot Jungle, Monkey Jungle, and the Miami Seaquarium. Later we visited Disney World. I don't think I've ever read a murder in a theme park.
