Default Mansion on the hill

When i was a young boy about 8 years old, i could rember and old house that looked like a castle with large round coupalows on each corner.It had a very large porch around two sides,with large wooden pillars ,whith about six sets of steps for the aproch.had old windows with the round tops in them. So i thought it woukd be a great place to find something good.My grandfather took me there when i was very small in a old modal A flat bed truck to deliver some moonshine.Come to find out later in years he made better moon then he could drive a truck.could not figure out when i was small why the bark was off the tree at the house. when he got drunk he would run in to the tree to stop the truck Thouf on the truck and the tree. Problem is rember where the house was? I new and older fella in town so went to see him ,and he told me the storey about the old house.he told me they sold more than moon in that place thats why all the men hung out there on weekends if you know what i mean. I was able to track down the ladie that owned it and she said to go ahead and look all i wanted.she said she rememberd my grandfather very well what ever that ment.Soon as the weather warms up i will check it out and let you know what i find HH everyone

Just FYI...in some areas, the gentlemen's houses of entertainment actually issued tokens that were as good as cash...Denver has an interesting history of such trade...I guess you could say that it was the start of the "gift card" industry!

Anyway - these types of tokens are rare and demand a huge price from collectors...so who knows? Good luck on your hunt!
