That's what I can make out as well.
I believe the second line is either something like:I found this board the other day in my house. Can any one read it? I can see it was written in 1890, April 19, and "yours with love", but not much else! Trying to read the last name at the top, so I can cross reference it to the 1890 city directory. Seems my house had at least three different house numbers, the farthest I can trace it back is 1898, clearly, this shows it is older, since it has been incased in a wall all this time!
Now that I look at it again, I think it is either 2 or more likely, and from up stairs!I believe the second line is either something like:
2 for Sterns/ stems?
BUT i think the 2 could be an "and" and followed by what looks like WJ Sterns...
Unless it is a location... are you located in ny or nj?
But my bet is the 2 is an &
FF....it's not the end of the world or a deal breaker or anything, though. It'll still do what it's supposed to just fine.
Fading Fast, thanks for the update. Looks wonderful. I'm with you on the fire door, I think it's a stunning feature. Never seen a door incorporated into a design so well.
Fading;
This just so pleasant to see; esp after working w/ my Father in the city turning old flats into sterile spaces with the swishy interior decorators
hope you get a CofO for Christmas
don't call it a fire door then the inspector will want steel over it
That's still not bad! I would settle for January on my project!It's 50/50 on Christmas, my best guess is January now. Oh well.
Oh my gosh...the bookcases!!! I need those in my living room!
Looks fantastic!
