I forgot to mention something really cool about the house. A lot of the bricks for the pillars on the front porch have "made in the USA" cast into them. I will try to get a pic later if I remember. The original house was built in 1935 and all the interior doors are solid wood and the door hinges are cast iron with a flower pattern cast into them. The doors are painted right now but I would like to strip the doors and frames and stain them and also powder coat the door hinges in black or an antique brass color.
Here's the pic.
