My Life in Ruins Cressy House: photo memoir of a County pile (Paperback)
Alan Gratias has had a life-long affair with crumbling houses. Somewhere along the way he came to believe if we save our buildings, we save ourselves. Cressy House in Prince Edward County, Ontario is his latest rescue.
Alan Gratias is the creator of the Gravitatis Brand under which he created Gravitas - the game that gets us thinking and talking again, and has written Crumbling Houses, Roger the Lodger, and Saitarg's Muse. He lives on a remote island county in Ontario where he tends to his chardonnay vineyard, a field of lavender, and ongoing deterioration.
