Renovating a 1950's house
5 years ago
We just purchased this charming storey-and-a-half, 1952 brick home. Can someone tell me what "type" of house this is? A craftsman? We are about to start some renovations inside and I would like to know what types of interior architectural details a house would have had in the 1950's? (Other than pastel tile bathrooms lol). Arched doorways? Crown moulding?
