There is a great deal of history in the area in regards to ship building, so probably began as a sea captain's home. MLS listing said 1824 I think but our historic renovation contractor and others, think it's older than that. When the dust settles, I'd like to do more research on the house, it will be wonderful to learn more about it. That's one of the things I love about an old house, it's amazing history. xoCatherine Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371726009244498344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-90592222172237971152015-01-13T12:07:23.616-05:002015-01-13T12:07:23.616-05:00I'm not sure, we'll have to see.I'm not sure, we'll have to see.

Was this house used previously for some purpose other than residential? Some of the spaces you've shown like the kitchen and this area have a vibe like it was a Moose lodge or VFW or something. And do you know how old the house is? It looks like post and beam which should make it earlier than 1840s I would guess.An Urban Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08666212353075804092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-10102270333271411832015-01-13T09:23:21.015-05:002015-01-13T09:23:21.015-05:00Having a beautiful light filled space for working ...Having a beautiful light filled space for working is the best…can't wait to see more!designchichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11814501245552660696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-88556477174813847652015-01-13T08:24:58.473-05:002015-01-13T08:24:58.473-05:00You have the sweetest family...so excited to see a...You have the sweetest family...so excited to see all of your ideas come together in this new old house!
