ld Morgan House

ome time ago Baron Von Lodge was the head of a small country near Switzerland known as Lilliland.

During a recent storm, a bolt of lightening hit an old tree near the center of town. The tree survived by one of the large branches hit an old home. It was the Morgan House that was one of the first homes in Lilliland. The house was occupied by an elderly couple of the Morgan family. But, hard times had hit them and they house was not in good repair. The branch from the tree had hit the front porch and part of the living room. It looked a lot worse than it was. It could be repaired.

But, a developer wanted to purchase the property and tear down the Morgan House and build a pool hall. The developer thought it would be a nice location for a pool hall.

The Baron was informed of the offer that had been made and contacted the Morgan family who were living in the house. The Baron and Professor Hamblin, the Baron’s chief advisor, thought that the Morgan House had significant historical value for the beginning of Lilliland. That house was one of the first homes built in Lilliland and the place where the first settlers would meet to plan the future of the country. The Baron thought that Morgan House should be saved.

The Baron offered the Morgan family the money to repair the house due to the storm damage. In agreement, the Morgan House would be an historical place in the history of Lilliland. Visitors would be allowed to tour the house and some of the area would be devoted to early historical memorabilia. The Morgans would be given a monthly stipend for their personal needs in order to make their lives as comfortable as possible, and they could stay on as caretakers of the property.

The Morgans accepted the offer and all repairs were made. Now the house looked very attractive again, as it had to the first settlers of the country.

Later, the Baron and Lady Angela of Alpine Castle, along with Professor Hamblin, thought that the idea would work out well. It offered the citizens of Lilliland a sense of history of how new things became the way they were. Tearing old structures down was not always a good idea. They all agreed.
