1836 Cape in MA
Posted: Wed Jun 15, 2016 10:48 am
Hi! Just wanted to introduce myself and my 1836 Greek Revival Cape in Plymouth County Massachusetts. We have lived here for five years and the house has had more edits and additions over its life than I can keep track of. We still have original doors, latches, floors, radiators, crawl spaces, etc throughout. We have had some work done by a contractor who specializes in antiques, a lot of which is good and respectful to the house, but after reading a post here about kitchens I am slightly ashamed of my subway tile
! In my defense we had to fix up the hot mess that the kitchen and later additions had caused!
I always knew I loved old houses, but I am just getting to the point in my life were I really want to explore this passion. Any recommendations for books or websites are always welcome. I am so interested in floor plans for early capes (I think my stairs are in a funny place!) and I'm also trying to figure out interior design for new additions to complement the antique side of the house.
Oh and my name is Christine and I have a one year old and a four year old and work full time as a financial analyst in Boston so my time with the house is minimal at the moment, but I have plenty of time to research on my commute!
