A Chamberlain birthplace house update:
In the summer of 2006, this house was finally sold, after having been on the real estate market for nearly a year. It is now in private hands, and is being restored on the inside.
A Further Update:
Thanks to the kind permission of the house's new owner, Mr. Daniel Moellentin, you can now see photos of both the interior and exterior on my site. Here is the page:
