This 1870s home in Detroit, MI has lost of all of its original decoration and, sadly, the finial on the roof. I believe everything was mostly pressed/stamped metal, based on similar homes in the neighborhood.
Has anyone ever reproduced such work? Or should a fabricator who has old molds? I was hoping to find the designs in an old architectural metal catalogue, but no luck so far. I could have everything done in wood, but figured I'd try this sub for ideas.
Looking at buying this 1883 home but what is this? The basement doors on both side open into these well areas with no stairs.
Why?
*There are two of these roughly 10x10 and continous hallway runs through the house amd there is one of there is a pit on both sides of the house
** it was a bed a breakfast at one point but only currently 3 bedrooms despite being g 3600 sf
Lets have a cool discussion
The Ball Eddleman McFarland House, constructed in 1899 in Fort Worth, Texas, stands as a premier example of high-style Victorian and Queen Anne architecture. Located in the historic Quality Hill neighborhood, the red-brick and sandstone mansion features a striking copper-roofed turret.
Hi all
I live in an 1890s Victorian terrace in Melbourne Australia and I’ve been trying to strip back the paint on our original cricket bat entrance door. There is a rim lock on the front door and I’ve been able to reveal the brand name and the USA imprint.
Google seems to indicate this brand is called Reo, Creo or Cryeo, an American brand from the late 19th century.
Does anyone know the actual name or any information about it?
Thanks
