Castle Victorian, New Old house
 |
| Castle Victorian, New-Old house |
The 1885 version was built in Kansas City, MO and was documented in a book of old house plans. The illustration in the lower right corner is from that book. The original house, pictured to the right, still stands in the Pendleton Heights neighborhood of Kansas City, MO.
In 1999, my wife and I accepted the challenge to reconstruct this house in a manner that embraced the intricate details of this grand, High-Victorian home.
Building an authentic "New-Old house" that embraces the character and quality of a historic home is possible, but it takes a lot of dedication, effort, time and financial investment. We hope you find inspiration here as you consider your personal Dream House project. Just select a tab, above, (start with "The Dream" and work your way across).

Robert Dunsmuir died in 1889, just months before his majestic Craigdarroch Castle was completed. Although he arrived on Vancouver Island a poor coal miner, he built an empire and became the wealthiest and most influential man in British Columbia.
The fortune Dunsmuir amassed is reflected in every piece of the finest wood, stone and glass meticulously tooled to create Craigdarroch Castle, now a national historic museum featuring an extensive collection of stained and lead glass windows, magnificent woodwork, Victorian furnishings and decorative arts.

Coconut Macaroons
 |
| Coconut Macaroons |
Coconut macaroons are a Victorian version of the original recipe using dried coconut in place of ground almonds. Made this way, children love them! Top with a sliver of candied cherry or tint them the palest pink with a drop or two of red food coloring.
Ingredients
Rice paper
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
3 cups dried coconut
2 egg whites
Glace cherries, sliced
Preparation
Lay the rice paper on an ungreased baking sheet with the smooth side uppermost. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Whisk the egg whites until stiff. Whisk in the sugar, then fold in the coconut. Pile the mixture in twelve pyramid shapes on the rice paper. Top each pyramid with a small slice of cherry.
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until a pale golden brown.
Leave on the baking sheet until cold. Tear around the rice paper to separate. Makes 12.
