(Click on the Cartier mansion and click on "newer" four times to see four more pictures)

Short story, this used to be Morton Plant's mansion. Henry Plant built a railroad and chose Tampa, FL as the terminus. This decision is credited with the growth of Tampa as one of the largest metropolitan areas in the country today. I was born in Tampa.

Therefore, I have decided it makes sense that I get something from Cartier soon.

(I know! I"m making this up as I go along! I just want my ring already! I might get it in January after the holiday rush is over as there isn't time to get it before Christmas. )

It is a gorgeous place. I'd love to know 1) what the front door, etc., looked like in Plant's day & 2) how the inside was.

Pics of your ring when you get it, Danny!!!

Laurie, right now I have this kind of dysfunctional Samsung cellphone with a not very good camera that I don't even know how to hook up to the internet and in January I won't have access to SO's iPhone.

However, I am seriously contemplating having the box, with the white paper and red seal, the inner box, and the ring, including a picture of the ring, and a picture of the profile of the ring professionally photographed, to enable me to post pictures.

I might get other pieces of jewelry someday, but this ring, as a ring, is a once in a lifetime event for me.

So, yes. I will do everything possible to post pictures for you.

Yes, and his wife sold it for a pearl necklace. Imagine that!

It's just a simple gold band but I've wanted it for a long time.
