Gransville, your fire place got me thinking, I've seen some thing very similar before. The three ornaments set me off. Have a look at this m Now add embellishment like off this mantle. m It would seem you have a Charles McKintosh inspired fire place. Now I think that's some thing special. Just type ...

Gezzzzzz, what great detail. The fire place should stay exactly as it is. The butlers sink should be oval, a compromise between round and square. No one loses and no one wins, every one happy.

I found my self with a slack day on one of my working trips between job done and flight home. So off...

Welcome Shemcreek, never mind the large court. The home is protected by a rather large canon.

The other one is still standing but about half of the fancy top was been removed. Being up there a few summers ago during the furnace install I did an inspection, the top two laye...

Thanks josh, if I recal you posted a few pics of your great house on the OHW. I am really impressed with your home. A large wrap around porch would be great but alas large porches were not common on Gothics. Having not found a period picture of our home and no obvious signs of there ever being one I...

Once again, found the Edison at an out of the way antique store. It is unrestored and works great. I had to instal a new belt and the rubber tube connecting the horn other than that it's almost plug and play as the saying goes now. It does have one issue though maybe Neighmond can help with.

The sink I've been told might be the original sink as installed a hundred years ago. The green tile ...
