1960's Apartment Time Capsule Manchester NH
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 09. 2024
- This is an apartment located in Manchester NH that a friend of mine got contracted to renovate . The building was constructed during 1920 and was owned by the same family up until 2024. Nobody has lived in the first floor since the 1980's as the apartment has been preserved as the last renovation that's been done here was during the 1960's.
That linoleum in the closet is original from the 20s or 30s. Bathroom fixtures from early to mid 50s. Kitchen glass cabinets with latches from 30s. Neat place!
Thanks for the info!
That linoleum is actually asbestos
Grandmothers house had same cabinet and latches on the upper cabinets we had ironing board cabinet as well
my dad built our home in very early 50s - bathroom very much like this one but blue instead of pink. mom LOVED blue blue blue! very familiar bathroom! interesting video!
Nothing like radiator heat. My mother and father would lay our blankets across the top on very cold nights. Too bad about the pink bathroom - I love it.
@MsLisautube Yes, they get hot , similar to a wood stove.
As a lover of vintage things I think this apartment is AMAZING!
Same here , the apartment found the perfect contractor and tenants as its preserved for the moment. It's just a tiny part of history, but it is history none the less.
@manchesterexplorer8519 I am a musician/photographer living in Manchester and I'm always looking for little things like this. I think I'm going to enjoy your channel!
It nice to hear that not everything is being ripped out & modernized!
@joanneclose7041 It was by chance as I do my best to preserve history , even if it's something minor such as this apartment. Most contractors would've advised the owner to rip it all out to then modernize it.
It’s a shame about the toilet and sink. I love that pink. Great video.
I lived during the 60s! It’s a beautiful place! Especially the pink bathroom! 😀
I know, I hate that the homeowners wanted the sink & toilet to go. They are in good shape & match the bathtub they are keeping?? I get that a vanity offers storage, but they had the built in cabinet in there with the laundry chute.
This took me back 60 years. It had that familiar feeling.
It’s nice to see an home built in the 20’s that has been that well cared for. Many people today have the use it up and then move on attitude which is why so many older places have to be gutted. This one is a beauty
The previous owners took such good care. Zero dust!
Oh what a beautiful apartment! Someone really loved living there, they took great care of it
Thanks for the time travel. The red tiles on the kitchen floor!
That was awesome. Reminded me of lots of homes i visited while growing up.
The home i grew up in was built in the 20's and had radiators, i loved them and wish the home i have now had them.
We had doors with latches like some of those, as did my grandmothers house and other relatives homes, they were pretty cool.
And those bathroom fixtures were all like the ones i grew up with, even the pink color lol
I'm glad that we saved it from being " updated" and yes, the old radiator heaters are like having a woodstove in every room . Nothing heats better than them , not the most efficient as far as burning oil, but they are not that bad, to be honest.
I love older buildings,I am so glad it is being restored to its splendor. I love the bathroom tiles and tub! Thank you for sharing this video.
Lovin that floor to ceiling lamp....
Born and raised in Manchester!! Apartments had many rooms, very small closets! Enjoyed this. I am 74 and this brought back memories. I lived on the east side
Yes, people didn't own as much clothes back then....... and people today wonder as to why they're broke 😉
@@manchesterexplorer8519 yup😆
That's one bangin apartment. I'd change very little
I love it…I wish all the old could stay especially the pink sink and toilet .. the linoleum is awesome…beautiful to me! I love to keep history….
I love it! To bad about the bathroom sink and toilet. ❤
I agree with you.
@@debrameyer1125Me too it doesn’t make sense to keep the pink tub then remove the pink sink and toilet? It’s not doing it justice.
Love the place. Love he kept most of it. Cool you rented it. Peace!
Pink and gray bathroom! Someone couldn't let go of the 1950's vibe!
Thank you for your thoughtful tour of a beautiful apartment. It is heartwarming to see the care the owners took maintaining their home and your appreciation of the workmanship of buildings past.
I do my best .
I love the whole apartment.
A good scrub & clean, a few repairs is all it needs. Okay, new windows & exterior doors. Otherwise, leave as is.😊
I am impressed at how great most of that apartment looked. Happy to hear someone wants to preserve what they can.
My brother's 1962 house in Massachusetts has the same Shell pink sink, toilet and tub.
I tried to keep it original 😕
I wish we could still buy that gorgeous (linoleum?) floor covering. It is indestructible, obviously.
@shavinmccrotch9435 It's still around as far as I know. Although you may not find the vintage patterns . Not my cup of tea , but I'm sure it looked cool when it was new.
Reminds me a lot of my first studio apt on the West side in Manchester back in the '90's. I paid $285 per/mos and I had a garage. The tile on the ceiling is crazy!
I remember those days of very affordable rent , people have evolved into self-centered narcissists that only care about money so they can buy more STUFF to feed their insecurities .
@@manchesterexplorer8519 I remember my landlords were great and actually cared about their tenants. If you had a problem they would try and help you out. They let me rent the garage spot for $10 per mos because my car kept getting broken into and I was a broke college kid. Very kind. Seems a lifetime ago now.
I used to live on the 3rd floor of that building!
It's recently been remodeled.
WOW!! What an awesome apartment!! Im absolutely so surprised that this apartment wasn't destroyed/graffitied up or the copper pipes werent torn out throughout the years of no one living there!! That DEFINITELY means its a good area to live in and the neighbors watch out for one another!! So with the bathroom If they were going to keep that pink tub they should have kept the toilet and the sink as well (well at least the sink) SUCH a perfect match!!! BUT I LOVE THAT KITCHEN....and that pole light was so awesome!!! In the beginning of the video you stated that you guys have moved into it.... So I wish you ALL the happiness and that you guys make MANY cherished memories there together!!💜🙏🩷
@helenawarsinnak Thank you , and yes , The Rimmon Heights district , located on the West Side of Manchester is still holding on as its a nice area to live.
🌺 I had a blast just seeing this beautiful apartment in New Hampshire & it brought me back to the early days of how we had lived; thank you for sharing the video to us all & Looking to see more places like this one & can't wait to see more again😉...
Hi, I was born in 1948 and grew up in the 1950s and 60s and have studied interior design. The color pink and turquoise were big in the 1950s, turquoise even in the 1930s! We had a hot pink kitchen counter in our home in the 1960s and our neighbors had an all pink bathroom in the 1950s so that bathroom looks more like bathroom fixtures from the 1950s if not the 1960s. Another friend of mine had an all pale pink kitchen in her home in the 1960s. Good luck with your new home, looks like a lot of work ahead, but it will be well worth it. "Home is where the heart is"!♥
Oh wow, I love it immensely!❤😊
I LOVE the pink bathroom!!
So many details in the apartment remind me of my house when we bought it 30 years ago. The front doors, the windows, radiators, medicine cabinet, the kitchen cabinets, stove vent, and hutch are all a flashback to before our renovation. It took a lot of work to renovate, but it was worth the effort!
Everything here was saved except the pink sink and toilet . All we did was rip up the old carpet , laid down some plank flooring and repainted the place . It's a neat apartment for sure and I'm glad we not only saved it , but moved into it.
Otherwise all that old tile would've been removed as well as the cabinets , which would've been disgusting to do.
It is like going back in time, that flooring is in one of my parents photos from the 1950’s, I just checked them out! Don’t change them, it’s vintage!! Nice!! 😊
Dynamite video. I had the same pink tub and sink. You probably know this, but there will be the year that the toilet was installed, if you lift the tank lid. That gives a general idea of the fixtures, etc. I like what you are saying about lead paint and how it looks. As a special education teacher, I am here to tell everyone that lead in the blood system settles in the brain and stays forever. It doesn’t get better…. Lead remains everywhere and the dust is brutal. Painters do not care so much but please talk about this huge problem. People need to know.
@DorothyKiley Yes , never sand lead paint 👍 . Although the trim paint here happened to be oil paint upon testing it. The exteriors of the window sills contained lead though.
The 2nd and 3rd floor apartments had a lot of lead paint. These 2 apartments were heavily lived in and trashed as well . They weren't worth making a video .
I grew up in an apartment very much like that. Wonderful apartment and great memories.
I used to live diagonally across from this house , you can see my old apartment. When you look out the front window to the left (the gray apartment) I always wondered who lived in here ! Such a time capsule! I never saw anyone go into the first floor and now I know why!
Very cool!
Geeeeezzzzz those bathroom tiles look as if they were installed yesterday 🤯🤯🤯. Excellent maintenance!
I really like the hanging light, very pretty.
Your video reminded me of the house I grew up in in San Francisco & a couple of apartments I lived in on the west coast. Put a smile on my face. That apartment is a treasure. Thank you for sharing. 👍
☮️💖🌻
Love it!! Also born in 1948 in October!! Thank you for the tour🧡
I like this apartment. I really do! That pole lamp in the living room was pretty cool. That bathroom too. That block glass is really awesome stuff! Excelent lighting and zero see through. That medicine cabinet was so old, it came from a time when people used to dispose of their razor blades behind the wall via a slit at the bottom, and on the right hand side of this one. I love that color combination of those tiles in there. Little things that you don't think about too often really make a home, like those archways, and those bathroom and kitchen light fixtures. I think there was another one a little further back in the video too.
@sped6954 I agree , I love living in this unique apartment . One of the neatest apartments in the city for sure.
love love the fact it’s being kept to original
WHY would anybody mess with such beauty?
That apartment is a gem! Since the owner is keeping the pink bathtub, why not keep the matching sink and toilet? The paint on the varnished woodwork is peeling, so perhaps it could be easy to remove and to restore the original finish. BTW, that peeling pint could contain lead. I'm glad that he's restoring many of the old features of the place!
No reason to do anything to that apartment. Leave everything including the lightning.
Just about everything was saved.
I would always replace the wooden window frames and windows.
The frame expands through the year's and it's also very difficult to open and shut.
The new windows will provide protection from the cold and heat and also easier to clean.
Nice job in getting the apartment and good luck with everything.
@apriltorres3684 As a foemer contractor of over 20 years and residing in NH for 48 years I'm well aware😊 . Yes the windows were replaced .
However , I used to specialize in restoration of pre-1940's buildings as some people keep them for historic purposes, but yes they do little as far as keeping the cold out.
@@manchesterexplorer8519
Thanks for the info.
I have enjoyed watching your videos and seeing the updates on the house's.
The bathroom medicine cabinet hs the slot to dispose of used razor blades
Wow this brings back memories from when I rented a room in a old 1900's building that was in my previous landlords family. His parents lived in the unit above him and his wife (where me and my untrustworthy roommates were). Tin ceiling throughout the unit even above the drop ceiling tiles, old 1950's gas range with a built in heater and boy was my room the hottest in the winter! The unit across from us could not be rented due to a pipe burst caused by the last tenants that didn't have the heat on low during their 3 week vacation. (It was like walking into a fun house). I temporarily used that unit to store my stuff as I had to move out for many reasons that my roommates has caused (which includes not paying the landlord and the utilities.) Anyways the unit across the hall had a very nice gas range that can also be used as a wood burning range (yes I asked the landlord) the bathroom also had a claw foot bathtub in great condition. My grandparents house (god bless their souls 😢) had a claw foot bathtub as well. They also had a butler's pantry and a metal sink. (our kitchen sink unit was all metal including the drawers). My grandparents were the third owners of the property. Before it was a residential house it used to be a bar.
Wonderful seeing this apartment. I grew up nearby ,went to school at St Jean the Baptist parish, and knew the family who lived here….brings back some terrific memories, but chuckling over the descriptions…the condition of this apartment is very typical of most of the west side where people actually washed their front steps and sidewalks and had a lot of pride in their homes whether or not it was a rented apartment or their own home. Sad to see the west side now….
The Rimmon Heights area is still in relatively good shape , but the majority of the west side is basically run down these days.
The glass in the bathroom window looks like glass brick (aka glass block). It looks like it is about 3 or 4 inches thick and hollow with vertical ribbing in one inside wall and horizontal ribbing on the other inside wall. If it looks stained, that may actually be the glass has started to turn grayish/purplish from sun exposure. Some old glass does that from exposure to sunlight.
It may be possible to get a traditional toilet and sink though maybe not in pink. The bathroom in my 1939 house was remodeled sometime in the 1960s or 1970s and a bargain toilet and vanity sink installed. I bought a more traditional Kohler toilet and matching pedestal sink when they were on half price at Home Depot ($500 for both rather than $500 each). They were installed when the house was completely replumbed.
Overall, a very nice apartment with well preserved features. A video with good advice.
I hate to break it to you, most of the apartments in Manchester in 2024 look like this. Landlords don't bother to update since housing is tight and people take what they can get. Do you know how many pink, blue, and green bathrooms we still have here?
Most apartments that still happen to be vintage are beat; this one was in excellent condition, which is what you're not understanding . Nobody has lived in this apartment since the mid 1980's as it was the original owners/family that lived here since it was new in 1920 and they took care of it.. Also, as a contractor of 20+ years and knowing many other contractors , most apartments don't look like this as they've been torn apart and renovated poorly 3x over by now and also covered in 20 coats of bad paint jobs.
Are there other apartments in Manchester that are time capsules in excellent shape? Yes, but they're very few as most of these old tenant buildings are now owned by slumlords and investment companies that like to modernize everything or to poorly maintain them.
For example: The 2nd and 3rd floor of this very building also had the original cabinets , but they were all in horrible condition being painted at least 5-10 times as they had to get ripped out and replaced. All the original cabinet hardware was painted over or 50% of it was gone or broken. All the trim , again painted at least 10 times with caked on horrible runny paint jobs . The bathrooms were likely renovated " very poorly" during the 1980's. The walls and ceilings, also riddled with bad repairs/patches , runny and rough looking paint etc..
@@manchesterexplorer8519
These old apartments would be really nice if they were kept up but the slum lords are only in it for the money and the same goes for investors. They'll rent it to those on section 8 and the renovated apartments in the same building will be market rent. There's a 3 family house on the West side, Two units were remodeled but left some of what was original. The section 8 unit was horrible. A couple of the wooden floors weren't sanded and varnished. The stove was old and the handle to open the oven door looked more like a towel bar.
@@FirstLast-yw2wu I agree , most tennant buildings have been remodeled by now , many of them horribly . It's somewhat rare to find one like this due to nobody residing here for decades.
See I'd come back to New Hampshire if I could live in that house. It's beautiful
Radiator heat is the best! That apartment has such a peaceful feel about it.
the paint is peeling because it’s been left on for many, many years. When they get regularly repainted, they don’t. I have owned 3 historic homes, & they have been repainted, many times by me, & this has been the case. I love the stained woodwork, but it is a hell lot of work to strip it. When you work multiple jobs & have rentals, it ain’t happening. Wow, this place takes me back. I’m 70, & wow. I grew up sitting on linoleumed floors watching Saturday morning cartoons because the couch is taken up already with my quicker siblings.when we’d get up from it, we’d yell, “my seat is saved!” Haha. Everybody adhered to it too. It wasn’t no joke. That floor was hard & cold. & then in the 70’s, mom got a better job, & we got that carpet right there, same color & everything. Cable tv was new. Then the fight for the cable box commenced. The good old teenage days.no ceiling tiles. Thank goodness. We had floor vent heaters in the 50’s-60’s. No tiled bathrooms. Wow, that bath hardware is in pristine condition, wow. I hope he doesn’t touch it, we have nothing to match its quality without spending $1000.00, for the set. No lie. I have a laundry shoot in my current home. It’s a single family fixer upper mansion. I have many plans, & many projects to tackle. I’m thinking that kitchen was twice the size it is. Every old house we had, had humongous kitchens. With the old wall sinks, no counters, the old Frigidaire, pantry, ceiling light with the string. Big gas stove. I’d love, love to find a house like that, I would buy it in heartbeat. Yes, my last house had 1960’s cabinets & drawer pulls, they were beautiful but painted over. I lived there 20 years, & was able to find a video showing how to clean them easily. They were chrome like yours, but swirly. Omg. I should’ve brought them with me because these are new & falling off. Grrr. I love that all the hardware matches. They did a fabulous job, from beginning up till today. I hope they hang onto everything they remove for the next owner. Put it in the attic. I bet there are many homes with the original laundry shoots, they’re just closed off. Mine is in the basement, but they left the two doors in the bathrooms. I had those builtins in my pantries too. That radiator is stunning, I’ve never seen one. So cool. Formica counter. Those cupboards are so roomy, I love them. Interesting layout. Great place! Thanks for sharing.
This reminds me of the house I grew up in. I love it!
I love old vintage homes.
OMG that mirror you just showed I remember my Mother having one of those but it was green with sliver.
She had for the longest time.
The dining room ceiling light is gorgeous.
I grew up in a house with a pink bathroom..loved it.😊❤
30 years??? We’re horrified by vinyl simulated wood grain floors NOW! 🤣
@shavinmccrotch9435 I agree , I'm not a fan of vinyl plank but it's the quickest way for an apartment remodel.
That's so cool. I had relatives that lived in the triple deckers on the west side. This brought back a lot of memories!
That's Linoleum on those floors! The trim is nice! You can plane those doors, they don't make them like that anymore.
@@thebackrooms7511 I would've saved the door as well , wasn't my decision.
There is a door manufacturer that still makes traditional paneled doors - the type that were probably originally in the house. That company, American River Doors, is unfortunately here in California. They supplied 3 replacement doors for my 1939 house. Perhaps there is a manufacturer closer to New Hampshire.
The door and window facings appear to be Eastlake, so the house itself may be late 19th century rather than early 20th. I'd love ro see if the exterior or any original doors had bric-a-brac, gingerbread-y details. Or stained glass. I once lived in an old Victorian that had deep cabinets like those. I wish I had photos of it; it's long-gone.
But the remodel is definitely 60s. I lived with those light fixtures and door pulls. I wouldn't change a thing about the bathroom except to trade plastic tiles in favor of ceramic. And I LOVE the walk-through pantry.
@MelissaThompson432 it was built in 1920 , hardly any buildings in the immediate area were from the 1800's as this area was basically a clear cut field back then.
I hope we get a tour when it’s all done !
@Mammaj1963 I forgot to video it after completion , I know reside here , but I may make a video. I'm just worried about videoing my stuff , just worried about potential thieves
I drive past there regularly, lol. It’s nice to ‘meet’ you. I have family on Agnes just across the river.
Would just love to see it finished 😊
@eyesup9542 Yes , I forgot to make that video. I now reside here , but I might make a follow up video. I'm just not 100% certain as I don't want to advertise my belongings to potential thieves .
@@manchesterexplorer8519 ♥️
great job neighbor, greetings from boutwell street
Those old buildings were housing for the mill workers. The bedrooms were off to the sides with a main area in the center that was a shared space. Interesting history.
@LifebyLisa4444 Yes , but these tenant buildings weren't all full of mill workers.
This is such an awesome channel. I’m going through your videos slowly as I grew up in Manchester and recognized familiar landmarks. My family’s old house used to be on Manchester Street where Phaneuf Funeral Homes has since expanded. Around that neighborhood on Hanover Street was the Hill-Lassonde House. Unfortunately (or fortunately) it’s a parking lot now. The last I remember that house was how poor shape it was in after the original owners left. Would you be able to do a video on that sometime?
Gorgeous !🧡
Nice! Any chance of seeing the upstairs and/or basement. I really like old bathrooms like that one. They sure last longer than the newer junk.
@bromeo3032 the second and third floors were nothing like the first . They've been remodeled and heavily used . Both apartments were a bit rough and neglected , anything that was still original was beat. They've both since been renovated in the past 3 months.
@@manchesterexplorer8519 That makes sense then, why you didn't show them. It's nice that they got renovated. Thanks for the update.
@@bromeo3032 They were just two run down gross apartments to put it bluntly.
That flooring looks like linoleum, not vinyl. You know that the paint has lead in it. Big job!
@@peg3085 linolium , correct 👍Most of the trim paint was oil based. The asbestos carpet padding was the biggest hazard here.
@@manchesterexplorer8519 The lino in those closets are definitely asbestos as well. They are very classic designs from the 40s and 50s. Hope you are being careful.
Lead can easily be in old oil-based paint. That’s one of the main paint types to contain lead.
@@kc9scott It's all encapsulated either way , this isn't my first run at it per say. More like my 30th 😉 I used to specialize in working with lead paint. The biggest mistake people will often do is sand it.
@@alexac3098 The floor guy dealt with it 👍 he just laid flooring right over it.
Growing up in the suburbs of Boston, our house had the exact same bathroom, but the sink and tub were blue baby blue
It's neat to see as what was considered outdated is now cool again . I'm glad that the new homeowner let us save as much as possible as most investors would've ripped it all apart.
It's just an apartment, but it is history as well that's now preserved for a little while longer .
@@manchesterexplorer8519 I would’ve left everything the same except for the fluorescent bathroom light as the fluorescent bulbs will cause headaches but other than that, everything else was perfect how is the golden retriever and why was he not in this video?
Rusty is still around at 16 years old and will likely be in a part of my next video .
Beautiful!
Beautiful home, beautiful crucifixes. Should have placed that one back properly, right-side up though.
Yes!! Thank you!!
To me look’s like plumbing fixtures from the 60’s.I like it
Someone took very good care of the apartment.
Would the stove/oven gone in that back room below that fan? I didn't actually see one. It's funny how the kitchen is split into a sort of working kitchen/appliances/table, and a sort of butler's pantry area that goes through to the dining room. There is more room in that apartment than there is in my dinky expensive one.
@jenniferfraser1854 The room with the fridge was originally a laundry room. And yes, some of these old buildings hold some really neat apartments, especially in the Rimmon Heights area.
I love the bathroom.
The shocker to me was the tiled ceiling. How did they get it to stay till the grout dried? Never seen chromed radiators either. Have only seen painted radiators.
So cool!
I had plastic tiles in my late 40’s house. I couldn’t wait to rip them out. The bad thing is the glue cannot be scraped off. We had to dry wall over it.
those vinyl floors did look good in the day.
My parents had that carpet in the living room. Late 60s or early 70s.
We had it too! Early 70s, lol
I live in an old attic apartment and when I saw the floor for the entryway/dining room I laughed. I have the same Acanthus leaf pattern floor except mine is not green. It's a wine/ burgundy color.
You should have explained the small slit inside the medicine cabinet It's to insert used razors, they just fall down between the wall beams..
Why, oh why, do widows always have to be replaced? There used to be such a thing as storm windows-sheets of glass in a frame that went over the windows in the winter, essentially making double paned windows like we have today. They came down in the summer. We had them at my house growing up. To me, taking out the old windows is losing half the character. It’s so worth having them restored.
Nice apartment! I luv the West Side as I grew up on that side of town. Right off Coolidge Ave. I went to West High School. West is the Best! lol. ☺️
Why can't people just leave things alone it s great 👍
It wouldn't be that difficult to build a vanity below the bathroom sink. Hopefully the sink was donated or sold to someone that can reuse it.
Wish you had the after pictures
@lizduchaney5309 it really doesn't look much different , new plank flooring installed , different toilet/vanity and fresh paint on the walls and trim . Everything else stayed.
Our home is from the 60s and the bathroom has all the original tile on three walls and the floor gray with black trim. I need to get someone to reglaze the tile and clean up the grout. That’s next on our list.
I think I am in love. Lucky you! That kitchen is great. I love the cinder block glass in the bathroom. What an amazing apartment. Wish I could see the rest of the house. By the way, do you get to have a washer and dryer in the basement since you have that laundry chute?
@gloriastroedecke2717 Yes the washer and dryer are In the basement . The 2nd and 3rd floors were still somewhat original , but both floors were poorly kept up as they were rented out and a bit rough as there nothing like the first floor.
That mirror is from the early 60s I have my grandmothers, my mother said she can’t remember it not existing and she was born in 62. I grew up in Sanford ME in a single house that was identical to this (except colors patterns) that kitchen is insanely beautiful I love small glossy tile. I recognize the linoleum in the cedar closet, that’s 1940s. That’s too bad about the sink and toilet they are infinitely rebuildable solid brass parts. That makes no sense. Why keep the pink tub then? Those plastic and fake wood vanities are garbage. My mother had the same exact kitchen set when I was a little kid. Gold speckle like the second Formica design after that gray marble design … the fridge is worth hundreds of dollars … what a find dude wow!!!! I really hope they reevaluate the sink and toilet the hardware can be rebuilt by a REAL plumber! WOWWWW
The toilet and sink operated , the homeowner for whatever reason wanted them gone . I ended up selling the sink , toilet and fridge to somebody who owns an old home that used them.
And yes , I love the mirror , it creates an optical illusion of another room as the mirror is so large.
@@manchesterexplorer8519 too bad they destroyed that bathroom. Common steam from a shower warps a modern Home Depot base model vanity base. Hope they enjoy replacing it between tenants LOL
@@AlexanderWaylon The tub stayed.
Nice place!
Soooo cool 😎✌️
Lol my aunt had one in her house out in Eliot Maine
This looks like the neighborhood I grew up in as you can see out the windows, grass and trees were not valued. Nice layout, large rooms.
You really need a window in the bathroom that’s a must.
I appreciate your viewpoint, however because I am a little unorthodox in my way of thinking, I think the coke bottle glass is more appealing because it is so different from the typical window.
The colors and bathroom fixtures say 50's more than 60's.
@kristinaginorio1344 I agree , a few people mentioned possibly earlier. The last renovation was during the 1960's , the building was built 1920
That cedar closet is nice
It used to be a necessity when so much clothing and bedding was made out of wool. It kept clothing moths away from stored items. They would eat holes in things.
LOVE it!
I would change much of it. Bathroom is what would sell me this place
It's not for sale. But believe it or not, some people like vintage buildings as there is a market for it , just look at the comments. Everyone thats visited my apartment loves it as its unique.
The toilet and sink were replaced and just about everything else stayed . The biggest change is that everything got painted and new flooring as well as some of the electrical and plumbing were updated.
