Tom Morgan, owner of Mystic-based Sound Home Inspections, has been working on his perpetual project, his Mystic Victorian, for over a decade. “The work never ends,” he told me. “No matter how much I get done, I always think of something else to do.”

Tom’s professional specialty is inspecting old homes. He has served as treasurer and on the Board of Directors of the Connecticut chapter of the American Society of Home Inspectors, as well as attending the Historic Preservation Institute at Windsor, Vermont.

Tom has decorated his house with some intriguing marine antiques.

Tom estimates the house was built about 1880
