UNNOTICED TREASURES IN AN OLD HOUSE!
I have found it interesting how little some folks know about Old Houses; Historic Houses, to be more specific. There is value in the fact that all of the windows are original, wood wrapped/double hung windows. Even though they may be a little drafty.
Another thing that goes unappreciated much of the time is matching hardware. When all of the door knobs, key holes, strike plates, hinges, drawer pulls, etc., are the original matching hardware, THATS really special. If it's not original...It would behoove you to choose wisely when outfitting your historic home with hardware.
