The record — long form
Walter Place is the '60 — the 'Gothic-Greek' that's the mixed, the 'Julia Grant' that's the sheltered. The 'Van Dorn' is the raid — the 'December 20' that's the burned carriages, the 'Mrs. Govan' that's the spared. The 'yellow fever' is the '78 — the 'Walter' that's the died nursing, the 'four sons' that's the lost.
The 'octagonal' is the towers — the 'Boling' that's the designed, the 'iron' that's the cast. The 'Grant' is the irony — the 'Union wife' that's the Confederate home, the 'supply depot' that's the Holly Springs. Walter Place is the survivor — the 'most expensive' that's the 2011, the 'still standing' that's the towers.
The file keeps Walter Place: the 1860 mansion, the Julia Grant shelter, the Van Dorn raid, and the fever dead.
