It's good to see the rennovation of a historic home has been done with LEED qualification in mind.

At least it is a true mansion, not some Mcmansion. When I die and come back reincarnate I am hoping to be a Marblehead housewife, it can't get any easier.

a green design laboratory with lessons to teach and learn....but the size alone prevents this from being GREEN. greener perhaps, and an effort to go as far as she count and still retain an outdated lifestyle (i guess). i appauld the effort but the biggest lesson for me is that LEED certification means no more than "hybrid" for cars (as in suvs that still get only 20-22 mpg) or "organic" for produce (flown to us from chile). yet another label to look beyond.
