Here are some photos I took on October 21, 2008, showing the current condition of the house we used for the exteriors of Erasmus' house in episodes of Touched by an Angel and Promised Land. (You can click on each of these photos for larger versions.)




This is private property and I am not responsible for this property. But I will tell you where to find it. Also, you may use Google's Street View to see the neighborhood. Remember, "Erasmus' House" is on the southwest corner of this intersection.
