This cache is slightly harder than the original “Millionaires Row” cache because you have a little more information to gather, and the information is not in the exact order that you need it. It is possible to do both at the same time. Just start with Millionaires Row. Then continue on the north side of the street onto Millionaires Row 2. Once you complete that you can continue on to finish Millionaires Row.
The blocks from Peach St. west to Poplar St. along West Sixth St. in Erie, PA was once known as “Millionaires Row” in the late 1800’s. Erie’s upper class lived along here in a variety of Victorian style mansions. Most of these still exist, but most of them are no longer single family dwellings. Many of them have been converted into apartments or office buildings. Some have been restored, and are in excellent conditions. Others are not in as good condition. At least one has been torn down and replaced with townhouses. You may notice that as you work out these caches.
This cache focuses on two of the blocks along this route. You will have to gather information as you walk along these two blocks in order to determine the coordinates for the final cache location. Take your time and enjoy the buildings. You will walk a total of about 1/2 mile. That would double if you choose to do both caches.
Begin at the NW corner of West Sixth St. and Walnut St. Proceed west and gather the information you need.
The final cache is located at N42 AB.CDE, W080 FG.HIJ
All clues refer to the front façade of the houses ONLY, and not anything on the other sides.
There is no need to go onto the properties to gather the information.
512:
How many rectangular pieces of glass are there on the front door (only count those on the actual door)? C = this number divided by 3.

This house has been converted into apartments. It actually has 2 different street numbers on it, so look in front of the 529. In front of the house at this location there is a light pole. D = the number of lights on this light pole plus 1.

This mansion has been converted into a Bed and Breakfast. There are 2 words in the name of this B&B. What is the average number of letters in those two words? I = this number.
The final cache is a nano hidden in a common fashion. (I don't like using nanos, but the old one kept disappearing. Maybe this one will stay put a little longer)..
Watch out for muggles since this is a fairly high muggle area. Please replace the cache exactly as you find it.
