I lived in a house that had a long narrow bathroom – pic7- I think it was added at a later date

Wow. In this house the I see a lot of yeas and nays. The yeas are truly yeas. Love that staircase. Love that compact, detail cluttered exterior. The nays speak for themselves.

It is a nice large Queen Anne and would be such fun to plan an exterior color scheme for. My complaint here are the drop ceilings, SO many drop ceilings!! Why oh why did that get done so often? I just don’t understand how anyone thought that was a good idea.

I agree. I never understood that. Those belong in office buildings not homes. Several likes about this house. My comment from last night is stuck in approval status for some reason but I basically agree the house has some really nice features.

Armstrong did a great job of marketing that stuff to solve lots of problems, and a couple of generations of folks fell for it and thought it looked sleek and modern!

Did you also notice the nice wood on the ceiling of the porch ?

I did after you pointed it out! Thanks! Pretty nice!

I love that. I see a lot of stained wood bead board ceilings on porches during the era but not always do you find this design. You see that inside a lot.

Like JD I had to go back and look at the ceiling porch again. You are absolutely correct, it is really special!

When I lived in Ohio, the dropped ceiling reasoning I heard was a space to add infrastructure and a way to hide cracks, as mentioned, but it also made a room warmer and less expensive to heat. And, add carpet to the floors and your room is warm and toasty.

In this particular case, I would guess that it made all the additional wiring and lighting needed for commercial spaces much easier than dealing with lath and plaster.

I was curious about the build date, so I looked at the Zillow link. They had a build date as 1940! I laughed and laughed! Not even close!

The exterior of this building is wonderful! Joyce is right, it would be great fun designing an exterior color scheme that fit the style better. I love that the staircase and wonderful fireplace are still in place and intact. I love the tiles around the firebox.

Yea, not a fan of the ceiling treatments. They hide all sorts of things besides cracked ceiling plaster like electrical boxes heat ducts, pipes, etc. and it meets codes because it is accessible by removing the ceiling panels.
