Great article. Thomas Sharpe's home is still there at 701 Water Street. The original Warsaw House hotel was torn down 1899 and the new new Queen Anne style home was built in 1904. The back part of it home was built in 1860. Still the historic site but none of the original 1840s era Warsaw House still stands. This is from the History of Warsaw by Brian Stutzman.

Another incredible description - your artistic gift. I love this Church history site and felt the spirits of the past and their lives, as we visited and stayed, one Christmas season.

Thank you gibbing such clear pictures of a place I yet hope to visit, of not in this life, perhaps as I leave for another?

Brother Peterson, I enjoyed your article. I have been to Nauvoo experienced the nuances of the city and surroundings. What are your thoughts about Nightfall at Nauvoo?

Thank you for sharing Thomas Kanes experience. I also have had the privilege of visiting Nauvoo on several occasions. His recap is beautiful.
