On the move These were the crocodiles that we couldn't decide if they were dead or alive. I mean they should be alive...they're at the zoo in their own little cagey thing...but do they look alive to you? I didn't think so.

Meyer House Bed & Breakfast

The history of this beautiful and historically significant Victorian home begins with the founding of Davis, West Virginia, the town in which this home is located...

The boisterous lumber business of the late 1800's and early 1900's called Davis home.  The high plateau consisted of extensive forests of spruce and hardwoods.

 

US Senator and industrialist, Henry Gassaway Davis, paid between $5 and $15 per acre for the land which is now the town of Davis.

Shortly after the land purchase, the construction of Meyer House began. Davis' plan was to have the house serve as a showplace for his numerous business ventures, as well as be the home of his extremely important 'second in command'.

 


Construction of this gracious Victorian home was completed in 1886, but the person to fill the role of 'second in command' proved hard to find.

After six years, Herman Meyer was hired for the job and he, accompanied by his wife and six children, moved in and made this house their home. For the next 70 years, generations of the Meyer family continued to reside in this grand Victorian home.

 

   Meyer House is superbly constructed and is a prime example of American Victorian architecture. This icon of local history still serves its role of showplace with grace and dignity, as it did over the years for the Davis Empire. 

The many spacious rooms and wonderfully detailed woodwork throughout the home add warmth to the late century charm of the surroundings. All of the wood used in construction of the home was timbered locally, including oak, red maple, and splendid red cherry. 

No expense was spared in the construction of this home; even after the construction of this wonderful home was completed, a special bathtub was ordered and installed for the over six-foot tall frame of Herman Meyer. This bathtub, which was once the largest bathtub in the region, is still in place today.
 
A Lyric By Joni Mitchell

The Circle Game (First Verse Only)
<P>
Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like, when you’re older, must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game.... Este ultimo puente hemos estado de camping, lo unico malo fue localizar la entrada, vimos un cartel que no nos lo dejo muy claro.
Anyone want this? The big burger of burgery bigness.
The sun is coming up so this snow won't last long. Explosions in the Sky.

One of the guitar players set his guitar down, duct taped an E-bow (Thanks Fabsmuff) to the bridge and ran a slide along the frets making the coolest ethereal whine.
All  while banging a tambourine on the stage at the same time. 

If you get a chance, go see these guys. For you NYC'ers they'll be at the Mercury Lounge on Friday. They're in Philly tonight and Brooklyn tomorrow.
