The place felt like a set for "The Nutcracker" with shelves full of antique toys, which I half expected to come to life when the lights were turned off! When I mentioned this to Bill, our co-host, he confirmed that the house had been used several times as a set for early films by Peter Jackson. Bill's hobby is restoring the old place, and he has done an amazing job. Yet the electrical fittings worked far better than the old gear I remember from my childhood. So if this sounds like your thing, you will love it!
