Photographer's statement: Entered on the National Register of Historic Places on August 5, 1995, this 1887 Victorian brick house has been the home of Mr. and Mrs. Allen Nohsey since 1986. Each year they entertain their friends at an old-fashioned Christmas Open House. People come from miles around to enjoy this festive occasion. I always go unless I'm out of town. It just doesn't seem as much like the holiday season without attending this particular party!
