A little cleaning and that would be spectacular. I'd love to live in a place made like that.

Who knows if that's true or not but I read it on the internet somewhere. lol..

Speaking of not knowing the truth, I visited the stairway I posted when I was a kid. It was on a stopover during a cross country trip - in Santa Fe, NM. The story I was told was that no one really knew who built this "miracle staircase". That the sisters who were building the chapel had run out of money and the project stalled. Then a drifter showed up and offered to build the spiral staircase, and did so without a single nail or screw. And that he left without ever accepting payment. At least, that's what I recall about 44 years later...
