@@howardturner2905 Actually, while the average home cost around 5-8 thousand, depending on the number of bedrooms needed, these little gems were only 4-6 thousand more back then to cover staircases and those stained glass windows. The washroom facilities werent indoor until years later. And you can almost always tell a restroom add-on by the floor having been raised 5-6 inches to accomodate the new pipes for draining as well as hot and cold water feeds. Usually, it was a small bedroom or, nice sized closet that was sacrificed to accomodate the new toilet facilities.

I worked with a female engineer. She (on her own) bought a three story Victorian from the city. They were going to demolish it, or something, so she only had to pay a small fee for the title. Next, by way of mortgage, she paid to have it MOVED! Paid for new wiring and whatnot. It all cost less than a new home. Lastly, she adopted some orphans and lived happily ever after. She told me this around ten years ago and she was getting ready to retire. So, she did all this around forty years ago. She was a very independent lesbian.

We loved it so very much . Seeing the love & devotion you both have kept in your home makes my heart feel warm, cozy and things are alright. Your home is glorious from your front door to the inside.

Amazing! I can tell you this is one well-preserved, upper middle class Victorian gem! And the woodwork is perfection. It's even more rare that the call box (also known as an 'enunciator') has been preserved. The narrow back stairs, another Victorian classic touch, designed to save space and make sure the residents saw as little of the service staff as possible, would also allow the housekeepers carrying huge baskets of laundry to steady themselves by their elbows on the way down. Thank you for sharing this!
