August 4, 2019. On another one of our random trips, Paddy and I again ran across the famous Historic House in Hightstown. It looked different so I parked the car and took some photos.
It looked great and was obviously under renovation.
There was a lot of attention to detail and it was beautiful.
Heading back to my car I crossed the street and saw this gentleman relaxing on a park bench and I marveled at the amazing house. To my great surprise, he was the owner. Like a dummy, I didn't get his name. I looked around the internet and came up with Daniel Buriak (I hope the internet was right for a change). Daniel was taking a much needed break after painting all day; bare feet and a cold beer. I told Daniel how impressed I was with his home and we discussed some interesting aspects of his renovation project. I told Daniel I would be back when his project was completed (proposed date is sometime before January 2020).
After touring the nearby towns, Paddy and I returned to Hightstown for some night photos.
A most beautiful and interesting home and a most pleasant visit with Daniel.
