Sunroom - 1958 James Henneberg House
Checking in at Prairie Mod this morning, we clicked through to realtor Joe Kunkel's listings and were delighted to find some interior eye candy worth a closer look. We're cozy in our inner city apartment, but some of these mid-c gems make us just a bit envious of our suburban neighbors...
