Episode #12 Take Me To Church

Devyn and I have more big news! We have moved the podcast to a website of its own: True Tales From Old Houses. For today, you’ll find the show notes in both places, but most of the photos are on our new site.

Be sure to subscribe to the podcast newsletter (at the top of this page), so you’ll always know when we release new episodes.

At the beginning of this episode, Devyn and I discuss our summer vacations and my weird hobby. No matter where we go, old houses and old buildings make a way onto our travel agendas. I also challenged Devyn to read one of the most provocative and chilling books that I have ever read. The setting is the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. (linked below)

During segment two, we welcome Gunther and Anastasiia, a Husband and Wife duo living in a converted Gothic Revival Episcopal church. This charming duo is known as All Saints House on Instagram. They share the ups and downs of going to church every single day, lost in translation Russian-to-English, and the DIY projects that make them feel proud.
