1 Front of the house. (It pretty much still looks like this, but with new windows.)
2 Back of the house. This has greatly changed, what with the addition of a 2nd floor deck, a rooftop deck, and stuccoing.
3 Inside the front entrance. That is, no lie, a 30" staircase.
4 From the dining room.
5 Shot from the living room. The fretwork is original (and while we still have it, we didn't reinstall it.)
6 Looking back at the front entrance, and the interior door. We didn't keep this feature.
7 The living room.
8 Staircase, from living room.
9 The unbelievably Gawdawful kitchen. Almost unworkable, which is why we rarely tried to cook anything here. The fridge is the only appliance to survive the transformation. See "after" photos.
10 The cabinets were particleboard with fake woodgrain vinyl covering.
11 Do not even get me started about this sink and window.
12 Let's visit the upstairs bathroom, shall we? It's a tiny one. Nope, no mirror unless you hang one yourself.
13 Well, there is one on the side, but it's a mite hard to see into. The sheet mirror was somewhat useful.
14 Bathtub. The best that can be said is that it worked.
15 The bedroom. Spacious, and a nice bay window. We raised the ceiling about 2 feet with the renovation.
16 Original mantel. No fireplace; these homes had a mantel over the furnace vent. Tradition, I guess.
17 View from the bay window. Two doors: one to the hallway and one to a windowless interior room. Transoms were operational. We kept the transom "feel," as you can see from the "after" photos. But they are fixed, stained glass decorative panels only.
18 Back bedroom. Yes, the bathroom was ventilated by two side transoms. Believe me, you had no "sound" privacy at all!
