(CNN) - An upstate New York man got more than he bargained for when he bought a building for his law office - an attic full of priceless photographs.
David Whitcomb says he didn’t even know the building in Geneva had an attic.
He discovered it when he went to change a light bulb and noticed the drop ceiling looked odd.
Using just the flashlight on his phone, Whitcomb climbed into an access panel and found a treasure trove of framed pictures and photography equipment.
