Our former S.E. Texas home was built in 1940 and when we remodeled it we "reversed" much the remodeling that had occured in the 1970's attempting to restore some of the original charm and character of the home. When we sold it, all the prospective buyers had positive comments on the "original" details of the older home. We now live in a remodeled 1920's farm house on the rolling prarie of Eastern Montana. The home had recently been gutted and remodeled when we purchased it. The previous owner (remodeler) didn't keep as much character as we'd prefer, but as the years go by, we will most likely try to revert many detalis back to the 1920's era - like we did at our last home.<br /><br />Congratulations on your home's historical status! All y'alls research, hard work and creativity has paid off.<br /><br />Mrs.BMrs. B, a very peculiar personhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03579160731517930694noreply@blogger.com
