SUMMARY:Visit the amazing “Steampunk House” in Sharon, MA
DESCRIPTION:\n\nTake advantage of this unique opportunity to tour the 
 much talked about “Steampunk House”. Owners Bruce and Melanie Rose
 nbaum of ModVic (Modern Victorian Home Restoration) have graciously ag
 reed to allow their celebrated Steampunk Home to be included in the Sh
 aron Historical Society’s 2010 Old House Tour. The Steampunk House i
 s so named because of the of the remarkable modern Victorian gadgetry 
 and inventions found throughout. This lovely 1901 Victorian Craftsman 
 home features leaded glass windows, Eastlake style antique furniture a
 nd numerous Modern Victorian innovations. Antique elements and salvage
 d fragments have been adapted to create fascinating Steampunk applianc
 es, electronics and art.\n\n\n\nThe Sharon, Massachusetts Historical S
 ociety’s Old House Tour will take place on Sunday, May 2nd, 2010, fr
 om 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM, rain or shine. This year’s tour will feature 
 five architecturally significant homes, including the remarkable “St
 eampunk House”. The self-guided tour of these charming private homes
  affords the opportunity to explore their wonderful architecture and d
 écor. Guides will be available to discuss the significant features of
  each.\n\nA very special Arts & Crafts style home will also be on the 
 tour. It was featured in the early summer 2009 issue of Arts & Crafts 
 Homes magazine. Often referred to as “the prettiest house in Sharon�
 ��, this beautifully restored Craftsman style home features an eclecti
 c mix of furniture and stained glass, surrounded by beautiful gardens.
  The owners spent six years converting a 1940’s bungalow into this c
 harming Arts & Crafts gem.\n\nAlso see a shingle-style Victorian which
  has been completely restored, but maintains its antique charm. Antiqu
 e furnishings and a unique carriage house make it interesting, but cli
 mbing the stairs to an observatory-type turret with a 360 degree view 
 is really worth the trip. A delightful artist’s cottage in the trees
  and a grand Newport-style country home with a tree sided wrap around 
 stone veranda round out the tour. The latter was built on spec by a we
 althy German brewer in 1898. Over four thousand square feet of living 
 space and a 100+ year old copper beech tree make this home worth a loo
 k.\n\nFor photos of the houses and more information, visit sharonhisto

 e only $19./year) and $20.00 for non-members. Checks should be made pa

 day of the tour, tickets will be available at all five of the homes, a

 nd its important programs. We receive no funding from the town or the
