Current home is modern and as such decorated to match, but I do like the classical designs and hopefully next house can be classical but with modern insulation, hvac, etc. Once had a house built in the 1600's, gorgeous time peace, a frill to work on and miss it, but houses like that are never really ours, more keeping them for the next generation.
Many thanks, keep up the good work
Good questions!
Just call me Mr. 1917. I'm a throw-back and live in a house built in 1912, what we used to call a Four-Square (equal dimensions, all sides). The stair in our house probably doesn't even make code today--5/4 treads overhang the risers enough that you have to swing your foot back as you lift it or you'll probably "fall up". You can't get a Queen-size box spring or mattress to the second floor; have to have "split Queen" components or you'll be doing plaster repairs.
