We had a personal tour by Melanie, sonce we
were the last group of the day. She was patient with our questions and allowed us to take photos. We also had a wonderful exchange with the man who led the scavenger hunt (we did not get his name), As he was locking up, my husband engaged him in a conversation about brickwork, and he gave us an extra 15 minutes to point out the history of the bricks used to build the house.
