One of the cool things we've uncovered as we set about fixing up our new place is a set of blueprints from 1956 showing what changes were wrought upon the old girl when she was drafted into use as a Doctor's office. Some of those plans were implemented, some were not. What's interesting is how much our redesign merely undoes what was changed fifty years ago.

One of the key things we're trying to re-do is to install nice french doors where the entrance hallway (or vestibule, if you will) joins the living room. They must have been nice pre-1956. Scour the place as we have we can't find the old ones anywhere here. We've hit all the architectural salvage places etc. but can't find any that are 92" tall.

If anybody reading this thinks they may have a source for some nice old french doors (the really tall kind), please shoot us a note!
