"With such an old house, I can't help but think that the pretty walls, ceilings and floors may cover up or encase potentially decrepit originals. Note the layer of new bricks on the face of the fireplace, the various modern heating and cooling grilles in the floor and wall of the parlor and kitchen, and the recessed lighting fixtures in the ceiling of the kitchen and dining areas. If those hidden sesquicentenarian walls and surfaces could talk!"?anon [1847 Greenwich Village Townhouse Hits the Market for $12M]
