I possess a partiality for irregular houses, when you go up and down steps, out of one room into another and when you come upon more rooms when you think you have seen all there are, and where then is a bountiful provision of little halls & passages, and where you find older rooms in unexpected places with lattice windows and green growth pressing through them.
Lots of Railway Passes!
19th Century
About 700 railroad passes, kept in storage, date from between 1864 and 1910 and belonged primarily (but not entirely) to General William H. Seward, Jr. In 1872, there was the Adirondack Company Railroad, Allegheny Valley Railroad, Atlantic & Great Western Railroad, Brockville & Ottawa & Canada Central Railways, and Alabama & Chattanooga Railway. And that is just in the A’s.
