Colin started taking down the cabinets and we decided to investigate what we think would have been the butler's pantry. The dark wood on the outside is original framing (the lighter was later added in order to attach drywall).
And here is a picture of approximately the same space but from the other side and on a perpendicular wall. It was interesting to find the original wood (dark) had been painted a light green (but why did it stop?). We don't know what would have been there... it should make more sense once the walls are down:
look under the sheets of plywood?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, our house had a hardwood floor hidden under sheets of plywood.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Our contractor and foundation guys were under the house (before we pulled the carpet up) and felt that based on what they were seeing, most of the hardwood was gone. But we'll still check!
ReplyDeleteThat's disappointing. Do you think you'll try to salvage hardwood or some other option?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea (realistically) at this point. We are interested in preserving what we can, whether it's actual materials or doing something that would be era appropriate...
