Tough one. So many Victorians, so little time. The external stairs are unique.

Except for the external stairs, it looks like the entryway to the house I was raised in many decades ago. My grandmother used to buy up old mansions "on the cheap" for speculation. My dad fixed them up. My parents and I would live in them.

Just to prove I'm trying really:-

Where is Solar Eagle? I haven't a clue how to start on most of these.

This week’s building was the McCune Mansion in Salt Lake City, Utah. Building began on the mansion in 1898 and was completed in 1901. An Early American entrepreneur and railroad tycoon, Alfred W. McCune, built the mansion for his family, which was designed by architect S.C. Dallas. The mansion was built with materials from around the world, notably Irish marble, Russian leather, and exotic woods like bird’s-eye maple, South American blond mahogany, and 400-year old English Oak. The mansion was later purchased and restored in 1999.
