Wow. Absolutely beautiful.
Speechless here....  Just stunning!!!!!!!!!

ETA:  Wait...  not so speechless after all!!  LOL  Since the doors are rounded at the top, it looks like a Tudor style home so Renaissance would be appropriate...

Looks like the surround is in at least 4 pieces,, but is that a crack in the upper part left ?? Gotta ask,,, is the house empty ?? I don`t see any personal items that make it look lived in !!

Hey all... The "crack" in the upper left of that one picture is not a crack in the piece, but it is where that part was joined to the next part..its the same on the other side upper right.The house is undergoing a bit of restoration, as termites decided that it was okay to eat under the floorboards!! Soon my brother will be moving into the place. Can anyone put a piece like this in a price range as far as worth? I know that must be a very difficult question since you have only seen pictures and I know nothing significant about this.

I wouldn`t try to guess at value !! I would spend a buck or two and get an expert appraisal if that is possible !! If for no other reason than insurance purposes !! You might think that damage to it would be difficult,, but you just never know !!

I agree. Here's an example of what fancy new ones can go for. Yours has the potential to be quite valuable, and probably well worth having an on-sight appraisal.

Alright, it looks like an onsight appraisal must happen. Thank you all so much for your time, and I will be sure to let you know what I find out.
