More good news from the corner of Vinton and Cleveland. The former Broens house continues to take shape as restoration proceeds. There is even a little "buried treasure!" But first, let's see a little before and after action.The East side of the porch after removal of the roof and ceiling:
The same area after installation of roof, ceiling, fascia and soffit, not to mention a few replacement rafters:
And now for a little buried treasure. While the porch was open I noticed a small sign posted on the side of the house, hidden from view for 100 years:
As best I can tell it reads:
Heating
Pritchard Evans
167 & 171 Linden
Apparently it is an advertisement for the company that installed the heating system. By my estimation, the address on Linden is now occupied by the Gibson Guitar Factory.
