The Spencer House

This is a stately home in my home town of Carthage where I grew up. Carthage is famous for its homes like this, maple trees and the annual Maple Leaf parade. It is said that his home was the first home built on Grand Avenue which now contains many of the city's famous Victorian properties. The house was built in 1870 by a former county sheriff but financed by using embezzled funds and prisoners from the jail.
