Local historian and author Hollis Palmer is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to one of Saratoga Springs most decadent, beautiful and moneyed eras, a veritable encyclopedia on all things Victorian. Author of “See and Be Seen: Saratoga in the Victorian Era” and “Mahogany Ridge,” Palmer has kindly offered to share his passion for Victorian architecture, culture and personalities with Saratoga TODAY and our readers in a six-part series. For his first entry, Palmer describes the beautiful Mingay House of James Mingay, located at 100 Lake Avenue in Saratoga Springs.

Not one who was willing to waste space, he even found room for a bathroom under the landing of the main staircase.
