My wife is a real estate agent who has sold several houses on Rose Hill.  A couple of years ago, she was representing an elderly lady in the first Queen Anne style house on Rose Hill next to the Belvedere.  There was a beautiful stained glass window on the stair landing, as well as a lot of other fixtures and ornamentation.  She also never threw anything away and the house was a major project.  The client had a shady contractor whispering in her ear telling her that she could make more money selling the house off piece by piece.  My wife had to disabuse her elderly client of this notion, and was ultimately successful.

Ultimately the house was sold to a good guy (even tho he's a west sider) who has lived in it and worked on it ever since, and it looks great.
