Greetings from St Matthewsville in Leicestershire, England.
We had a Marston House here. It was an elegant multi bedroomed property, however City Hall decided that it was no longer "fit for purpose" and knocked it down! I wish you had seen it, as it complemented this Marston House beautifully. It's as if they were two twins separated by an ocean. I have no photographs of the place, but I have my memories.

The house is beautiful. It's amazing that it survived. Back in the day, I visited the Marston stores; not sure if I ever bought anything.
I really like the special effects when the benefactors are introduced. I'll make a point of visiting Marston House next time I'm in SD. Thanks Dan.
