YES; they look OK the boys...and look: Dinner Time, they have the napkins high up, tucked in under collar and chin. So cool oldschool. Gotta love.

Yes + thank You ALL so much - clever. Explanation works out.

They built well with skills. I think all those windowframes are in pretty good shape after all these years.

Hahahaha - correct flushed, they DON´T know that part. At all!

YES! + You sure build very pretty staircases in the USA is fact.

Prancer! Some will pay anything for anything! You just came up with a great NEW idea here - and it is a lot of fun, also, and it will enhance any room with a "locked-in-peel" in a door. Very cool indeed. Thick; transparent and pricey such a winner.

notice someone went to the trouble of removing just about all of the vent covers in these rooms? reuse or worth something to someone I guess?

True, the shelves were probably for ancillary storage of whatever was on the floor. I doubt it was a library, as this was an industrial type of building; it was more likely used for food or mechanical storage.

Yeah it's amazing how these places could've been so utilitarian, but the designers and craftsmen built these flourishes anyway.

These puns really steam me up!

Yeah the wood is incredible - huge chunky beams without a knot in sight. Surely dope_mexican_chick can appreciate the fine craftsmanship in this building...

I'm very glad you remembered my site at that lovely sounding dark ale moment!

Calvin died there

Good point Mike, and most of the nation as far as square footage is still rural and undeveloped. But too often we try and project our latter half 20th century experiences with those who lived prior. This includes many overlooking or not realizing that even into the pre-war 1930s, less than 25% of non-major city households - those in and around small towns and rural areas - had electricity.

That said, one has to remember in this case many of these boys were orphans and abandoned at a very early age, so they never even knew what it was like living with a family at all. Hence the thought about them having a real connection to an animal/pet for the first time ever in their lives.
