I thought someone might have toured it as a "youngster" or might have been to an event there. Updating the the 26 bathrooms much have taken a chunk of change. I'm glad the organ was not tampered with. |

How right you are Ralph! HGTV has been the reason for the destruction of far too many beautifully preserved, vintage homes. For the life of me I’ll never understand what this obsession with the ubiquitous “open concept” is. If these unimaginative home buyers want an open concept, why not buy a newer home that already is laid out that way, or build a new home?
And I’ll bet in the near future, once everyone has open concepts, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and glass tiled back splashes there will be a sudden demand for separate rooms, tile counter tops, white or other colored appliances and more traditional looks. What goes around comes around. Whenever I’ve looked at a home or apartment to buy or rent I’ve always first looked at ways that I could make what was already there work. I never had a first thought about “blowing”out walls or a “complete gut job”. For crying out loud, isn’t the landfill already over taxed with peoples needless and wasteful discards? How about an appreciation of architectural history? Thats just my two cents worth. Eddie |

My house has what's called an "open floor plan" and I'm not fond of it at all. I can bake fish sticks in the kitchen and my bedroom...a very long ways from my oven...smells for a good day or two. Thank goodness I know longer "entertain" in there. There's a reason why when I cook something "smelly" I usually do it out in the patio on the barbecue island. |
