To-Do List for July

• document conditions with photographs
• get rid of rough shelving, pegboard wall sections, & miscellaneous 'stuff' on main floor
• demolish remaining dressing rooms on main floor and mezzanine
• remove a roomful of wood shelving and other 'good' saved items from basement
• remove carpet from mezzanine
• develop our preliminary ideas and sketches into real plans

The main floor as we found it ~












The second floor had falling plaster and dripping wallpaper in every room
















But there were some neat finds, too, like this Penneys' shelving ~











and this door latch set which was probably installed when the building was new ~

The door latch is awesome - was it the only centennial latch in the building? Can’t wait to see what the January to-do list will look like. A definite bookmark for me.

The Centennial latch was just discovered last week because it was on the inside of the upstairs restroom, a room which has no fixtures and no light, electric or otherwise. Who's going to go into a room like that and shut the door?

I was doing an inventory of the door hardware in preparation for deciding what pieces to reuse. This is definitely ON the list!

Yes, it's the only one.
