#167 Who built it? Where is it? What is it now?  The Union Army used wagons as cars had not yet been invented
Cars evolved from wagons. Older messages: Hint: built pre-1900 Michigan? - just a guess...No. But warm. Twas somebody's mansion. hint: has a Civil War connection. Another hint: car manufacturer Lincoln?No, not Lincoln. He was president during the Civil War, but that is not really a link to this mansion. The Union Army used wagons as cars had not yet been inventedCars evolved from wagons.

It's in the lower list (defunct).
I've given enough info that a google search of several of the keywords will give it up.

Steve posted this first on 11/24/13
I resurfaced and had it figured out on 1/15/14
wagga posts the (obvious) aerial clue on 4/30/14
must break the record for longest WITWHH, not for difficulty, but apparent lack of active participants. I've dropped off to looking at it once every 2 weeks or so just to see if it has resurrected. Surprised to see this today.
