A Room in Her Home Was More Like a Time Machine to the Past

Not a Typical Home

Alexandra Poulos and her family had lived in their home in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, for many years.

But now, at age 43 and married, Alexandra learned that her childhood home might not be as typical as she once thought. When her mother passed away, she was drawn back to her family home. Although she loved the place, she just couldn’t bring herself to live there now that her parents were gone.
