I took some more pics of this job were working on, I was told the house sat vacant for 25 years, there's about 10 +_ bathrooms in it, and the guys told me it cost $1800 per window to restore the original ones, the kind of glass that's wavy. They could only save 10 or so that I counted. I got a partial pic of the foundation that our friend redid, the front entrance way, and some inside pics. Theres also a view from the 3rd floor looking out, and an old sink i think it is? The house was built in 1806. We will be there next week hydro seeding the lawn in.

That is about the biggest kitchen I ever saw, outside of the one at the Biltmore Mansion. What a place!

JayinNY,

Phenomenal old home! Thank you SO MUCH for posting more photos. Love that beautiful front entry door and trim with the 3-way stairs, the wide interior hall by the staircase, the dormers and double-decker porch out back.

Any chance the yellow thing could be an old tank for a toilet?... you know when they had the tank up real high above the actual "john" (I think so gravity could facilitate water-flow).

P.S. Do these folks wish to adopt an older daughter.... a grandma? Whatever they are looking for - I think I can fit the bill. LOL!
NOT FOR MONEY EITHER... just to reside in that grand old home.

The "sink" may be a cistern that mounted either above the toilet or in the attic to provide water to the bathroom fixtures. The house is certainly old enough & if it were mine, would have the bathrooms restored with something from the contemporary Thos. Crapper collection. Now those are some regal rump roosts.

You have your own version of "This Old House"! Actually,I doubt if they would tackle something that large. Thanks for the photos.

Don't see foundation vents in the corners, and along the walls. Extremely important.

Where are you located? We don't vent basements here in the north east, makes them wet in the summer and frozen in the winter.
