"Rose Terrace" wouldn't be a bad drag name.
There was a special, I believe with Mort Crim, that went though Rose Terrace before it was demolished. I recall, in particular, the organ that was hidden in the walls. I believe this was in 1976.

I hope we don't have any Fire Marshalls here looking at that fireplace area !

Hello! Is anyone interessted in this catalogue. I was at the auction in 1971. I noted inside the price the items went for. Found this recently in my bookshelf where it just collects dust! Maybe someone is interessted.?
I remember Rose Terrace fondly. Such a shame that it had to be destroyed. But it was simply far too large of an estate to maintain in today's lifestyle. You simply cannot find the help to staff a home like that these days even if you wanted to bear the expense.
I believe it was Mort Crim who led a television tour of Rose Terrace before her demolition in 1976. It would be great if this was still available. I recall the massive pipe organ; the pipes were hidden behind the tapestries, if I remember correctly.
It was not Mort Crim that narrated the tour, it was Ted Russel from WWJ TV- Channel 2 I believe. Here is the complete video in 3 parts:
