Does anyone else see an almost complete face and head image on the second landing? The decay seems to make out a sinister image.

There is a scary face image sort of on the second land. I see it.

Many times when they installed these magnificent bannisters, they would leave something - like a time capsule - in the newel post (that ball or square thing at the end of the bannister) in hopes that someone in the future would find it. Usually house plans or other documents pertaining to the property would be shoved in there. They're interesting to find.

Clean these up with some Liquid Gold wood polish and they would shine like a new penny.
