Save a Victorian

Donation protected
I love antiques, I have spent many years restoring back to original condition. I've always been fascinated in history especially Edwardian, Victorian and Depression era. Women wore dresses, did there hair up, cooked meals from scratch, baked, made there own soap,candles etc. they lived off there gardens, hung laundry from the line. I would love to go back in time to experience that kind of life.
I found this Victorian home by accident, an antique on a grander scale! 113 years ago or so these homes were built, they don't build houses like this anymore, in some ways probably a good thing but the main architect is beautiful, I fell in love instantly! Since I can't go back in time, this is as close as I can get. I am just a woman with 4 children that has a dream to restore this beautiful home that has been neglected, to its former glory. Unfortunately I wasn't born a man with the skills to do this completely on my own, but I will learn and enjoy every moment.
This will be an experience for me because I am not rich, my income is not vast so I will have to rely on fundraisers, grants and small business loan for woman through SBA. My plans for this Victorian is to turn it into a B&B catering to weddings, reunions, company picnics, luncheons, Tea parties, dances, over night guests and the smaller home will be used as rental to local mine worker,.. yes it is in a old mining community in Victor, Colorado.
I will have special week end packages for Valentines, New Years Eve and local events also you can rent the whole house for a wedding event.
