The record — long form
Kilmer is the cured — the 'Swamp Root' that's the fortune's source, the 'paper questioned' that's the son's buy. The 'four mansions' is the thinned — the 'three razed' that's the sisters' fate, the 'temple saved' that's the '50's rescue. The 'newspaper bought' is the bold — the 'criticism silenced' that's the purchase's aim, the 'Willis' that's the marketer's name.
The 'children sing' is the heard — the 'doll's head' that's the movement's odd, the 'touched' that's the guests' feel. The 'gargoyles stolen' is the lost — the '$25,000' that's the bronze's worth, the 'front door' that's the lamps' spot. Kilmer is the castle — the 'turrets' that's the style's mark, the 'Parlor City' that's the town's name.
The file keeps Kilmer: the cured fortune, the bought paper, the thinned mansions, and the singing children.
Kilmer Mansion is the archive's New York file — the Swamp Root castle that outlived its sisters.
