a HUGE cat painted on the wall...im female but i gotta say that would be MY wall.....

Ohh......goddd.........here i am being forced to find an apartment i can even afford, and *this* graces my eyes....oh i am jealous now. that is just......wow..........

hi...first off, im wondering...do those post tub drains have a technical name that you can properly google and find history on/more pics/etc? and are they native only to ny? my auntie has one in her home and my best friend has one in her astoria apartment. i was recently to a dr's office that still had the upper part of a water closet toilet with chain above the modern one. i thought that was cool. my grandmum's house had a cubby hole and a walled up spot for bootlegging in her cellar. plus old bricks that were older than the rest of the house due to a fire that happened before they lived there. it burned the place to the foundation. the new home was built atop it.

@patty1h....im wondering if maybe that wasnt sum kind of remnants from an ancient ironing board or maybe dryer for crinoline cages or sumthing...it looks like it may be missing things which woyld help decipher it. its kinda errie.

those intercom speaking horns seem cool. my friends apt. was from the 20's we think, so i doubt they'd have those but we'll have to go on a search for neat bits in her place. my hubby n i r planning to move to an apt. hopefully in the asian/indian district of flushing, wonder if we'd find a reasonably priced place with neat stuff like found here!
