Neighmond, your house reminded me SO much of this Harris Brothers (kit) home (1923), but it's just not quite right!! DRAT!!

Mine was designed and initially built by a Mr. Thomas Queal. When built, he used some second hand doors and mill-work, so it looks twenty years older than it really is. It was finished about the time the railroad was really picking up, in the first outlet to town.

Here is the bathroom the bath tub is behind the picture taker. It was installed as the first plumbing of the home. The sink I've been told might be the original sink as installed a hundred years ago. The green tile is actualy a 1964 install I believe. The green tub also has the plastic tile. The bathroom is installed on the upper landing of the servants stairs. And is wide open to any one comming up the stairs. We have informal rules in place at the moment to avoid embarASSing situations.

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'll have to do with out.
