Nice Victorian Pete. I did some volunteer work a few years back (restoration) on what is now a house museum. (went through a number of transitions over the years)Good Luck with the project.

Love it Pete, that’s quite a project. My Philly money pit is rather smaller but a bit older (1741) 😉

was it ever a firehouse?

Thank you my good fellows! Seems a few of us have good house brags to share. 1741? Jeez Louise! Walla Walla? Great Wine! Would love to see interior images of those if ya got em.

Ours is in v good condition. New roof in 2 to 4 years. Some mortar has turned to sand and must be reupped. Some foliage must be cut back. Strangely thousands of ladybugs have found their final resting place on the floors. Feels like they're entering through a cold air return or something? Have a pest guy coming out in the morning. Our goal is for restoration not remodeling. Cleaning a room or two a day and once we live here it'll probably be two rooms a week in rotation. Can't move in now cuz mom dad are 88 and refuse to leave their house from "any direction but feet first!" Their quote not mine. They need us a lot more than ever so we'll stay bayside. Til we relocate permanently we'll air bnb the house and employ a local manager to help us pay the bills. All of that said, we love our house so much. I never dreamt it could happen to us, but it did.  Waking up thankful each day.
