Natalya has posted her answers to hundreds of questions by her loyal fans. What was the Hart House like and what was it like being there?
Here is Natalya’s answer:
So many of you from all over the world have asked me about the Hart House and what it was like there. It’s hard to put it into one simple answer … but I always love going back to the way I remembered it.
I spent most of my free time at Hart house and in the Dungeon … even in its final days. There truly was never a dull moment in that old, brick house that was once a hospital in the war.
I can still picture my grandmother walking down the steps from the kitchen to the basement … nonchalantly checking her laundry. The washing machine and dryer happened to be located right next the Dungeon. She thought nothing of it when she heard grown men scream at the top of their lungs in pain. Stu was usually spending Saturday and Sunday mornings practicing the fine art of submission wrestling on anyone he could get his hands on.
The Dungeon was just a little room. There were holes in the walls and in the ceiling from people’s bodies and heads going through it. The mats were old and weathered, and not soft at all. Some of the padding had actually been ripped out for years … we just wrestled around it. A little door took you into it from the side of the house and there were a few small windows in it where you could catch a glimpse of what was inside. Picture Perfect
