    This would be an interesting place to live but sadly I do not qualify. I would though be happy to be a brother and wear the rather natty outfit.

    I don't meet a single part of the criteria, wonder if they get to choose between the black or the claret outfits!?

    Looks a bit creepy. Think I'll pass...

    Not that I meet the criteria anyway!

    Looks like the setting for a haunted house movie to me! Maybe I watch too many scary movies.

    Can I just come and visit? I don't qualify to live there based on any of the criteria except being a male.
    Bon weekend

    An interesting arrangement. Almshouse sounds like it should be something of the distant past.
