Photo of a fire in the oven – this is the second in a series

of small fires to temper an oven that hasn’t been used

since 1940 or earlier.

Russell brought the panel for the fireplace over on Thanksgiving

weekend. It has to acclimate for a couple of weeks before it

can be installed.

Beautiful – can’t wait to see it in.

Stripping the door to the stairway. Interesting paint choices
back in the day.
