Brick House Tour
Ready for a photo tour of the Brick House? She needs some loving inside, so try and see past the crazy colors and dinginess. There is a lot of potential here!
We are going to start at the front of the house at the front door. An original to the house, very lovely!
Looking back to the front door with the staircase to the right and the living room to the right. This is after Mandy and I tore up the last piece of carpet, you can see the carpet padding stuck to the floor in spots.
Look at the newel post! I have never seen one this fancy.
There is also an original glass door leading into the living room!
And don't forget to look up and admire the light fixture. I don't think it is cira 1915, but I love the ribbed glass shade.
Looking toward the dinning room, a nice large room.
And looking back toward the living room. (That is the entry hall door to the right.) A classic layout with the living room and dining one big room. I love how large the windows are! And they are all original. The "boxes" under the windows are metal radiator covers.
And that brings us to the kitchen! I can't wait to get rid of the orange! The kitchen has a chopped up awkward layout. I am not sure how much I can fix it, but I am going to try and minimize it! There are two large windows (to the left), the door to the deck (right), the door to the dinning room (behind) and the door to the hall (further left).
Because of the door to the deck, the cupboards along this wall can only be 12" deep. The dinning room doorway is to the right.
This is across the kitchen looking toward the entry hall, the windows are to the right. I have a couple of ideas to hopefully make it more functional. For a small kitchen it should have a good amount of storage when I am done.
We are now ready to head upstairs!
Another nice feature, a built in linen closet at the top of the stairs!
This is the little hallway. To the left- the bath, forward- back bedroom, to the right-middle bedroom, behind- front bedroom. I love how efficient this hall is! Just enough space, but not too crowded.
This is the front bedroom, what you might call the "master bedroom". It has two closets and three large windows.
The aluminum window awning is on the tear out list.
The middle bedroom with another aluminum window awning.....
And an extra long closet! I love all the closets with the slanty ceilings and angled walls.
The back bedroom, which is a bit on the small side. But still not too tiny. I think getting rid of the purple will help!
This bedroom also has a door to the outside balcony. Honestly, this is one of my lest favorite features. I would rather of had a window.
And to finish off the second floor, here is the bathroom! It is a very small, very beige box. (Which makes it hard to photograph!)
It needs some serious updating in here!
Including the floor....
This also gives you an idea of how tiny it is! Barely one step from the toilet to the sink.
I have just a few photos of the basement. It is pretty dark, dirty, creepy and just plain sad! It was finished sometime in the early 60s, judging from the paneling, and it has not aged well. It is also chopped into little spaces that doesn't make it very useable. So this week's project is tear it all out!
Just to leave you with a happier picture, here is the best part of the basement! A cute little sink! I am going to keep it and the toilet. It is always handy to have an extra when there is only one bathroom in the house!
Thanks for taking the tour! Definitely plenty of work here! But I love bringing back to life these old beauties!

Sherlock Holmes and the Golden Age
A giant in any age - golden or otherwise |
A kind review of my Sherlock Holmes novel House of the Doomed took me aback recently by suggesting the book seemed more like a Golden Age mystery than a Holmes story.
Certainly, the Sebastian McCabe – Jeff Cody mysteries are thoroughly Golden Age in spirit, but I hadn’t thought of my Holmes efforts in that vein. Then my friend Ann Margaret Lewis, herself a talented pasticheur, reminded me that Holmes and what devotees call GA are not antithetical.
In its strictest meaning, the Golden Age is a time-period – basically the years between the two world wars. Arthur Conan Doyle’s final 12 Sherlock Holmes stories collected in The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes (1927) were published during this period. So, as a factual matter, the later-written Holmes adventures are Golden Age. And a few of them are excellent.
But GA is also an attitude, as well as an era. In an introduction to the two “Golden Age” volumes of the Masterpieces of Mystery anthology series (Davis Publications, 1977), Ellery Queen summed up the characteristics of Golden Age novels as:
· ingenuity of plot,
· originality of concept, including the locked room, the miracle problem, and the impossible crime,
· subtle and legitimate misdirection of clues – poetic license – but always with complete fairness to the reader,
· and often a stunning surprise solution,
· in a phrase (R. Austin Freeman’s), “an exhibition of mental gymnastics.”
In other words, Golden Age stories often turn on logic, brilliant deductions, and clever plots. So do most of the Holmes tales, several of which are locked room stories. (This is admittedly not true of some of the weaker tales, which are scarcely mysteries at all.) In a nice play on words, an early Ellery Queen novel even called Queen “the logical successor to Sherlock Holmes.”
Like Queen, Agatha Christie, John Dickson Carr, Dorothy Sayers, and Rex Stout – some of the brightest lights in the Golden Age firmament – all adored Sherlock Holmes and mentioned him and some the more famous Holmesian plot tropes frequently in their own stories. Even Carr’s ornery old Sir Henry Merrivale owes a lot to the Master.
Golden Age or Sherlock Holmes? They are different – but not different as it seems at first thought.
A nice review of DEATH OF A ROMANOV PRINCE
Prof. Roberto Gonzalez has posted an insightful and thoroughly well-written review of Eurohistory's latest contribution to the study of the Romanov Dynasty: Terry Boland and Arturo Beéche's DEATH OF A ROMANOV PRINCE.
Death of a Romanov Prince - Prince Oleg Konstantinovich’s Promising Life and Early Death “The coffin was lowered into the grave...... Soon there was a burial mound above. It was quickly covered with wreaths, flowers and crowned with a plain wooden cross. Prince Oleg’s promising life was finished.” Death of a Romanov Prince follows the brief life-journey of Prince Oleg Konstantinovich, one of the lesser-known members of the powerful and privileged Russian Imperial family. He was a talented young man of intellectual and artistic genius. Oleg was the gifted son of the talented Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich, who wrote under the pseudonym of KR. The Grand Duke was a friend of Tchaikovsky, who set his numerous poems to music, and who established literary circles for his troops, translated Hamlet into Russian, and wrote The King of the Jews, an original play that he and his sons performed. The reader will follow Prince Oleg Konstantinovich, his family, and Imperial cousins, as his life takes him via the luxuries of the family’s four magnificent palaces of Pavlovsk, in Tsarskoye Selo, the Marble Palace in St Petersburg, the Konstantine Palace at Strelna; and the Ostashevo Estate near Moscow; as well as numerous holidays in the Crimea. The young prince enjoyed the most liberal program in literary, scientific, and artistic education. He was the first Romanov to be enrolled in a civilian school and graduated from the Imperial Lyceum in St Petersburg, where in 1913 he won the Pushkin Medal for his academic achievements. At the age of 21, Prince Oleg Konstantinovich was on the crest of a brilliant career and personal greatness when World War I began. Then tragedy struck ... Death of a Romanov Prince brings the reader into the battlefields of World War I’s Eastern Front. Bloody battles fought in northern Poland and Lithuania’s Masurian Lakes. It was while fighting there that Prince Oleg led his troops into heroic cavalry charges against the Germans.

Review by Prof. Gonzalez...
I became more familiar with personal character and domestic world of Prince Oleg Konstantinovich of Russia, especially in relation to his large immediate and extended families.
The beginning chapters increased my comprehension of the extent of the Konstantinovichi branch of Romanov wealth and lifestyle.
My appreciation and liking of the Konstantinovichi branch grew as it became apparent that they were not indiscrete contributors to the short-sighted, dynasty-destroying sniping of Nicholas II and Alexandra and the concomitant competition from within the mainline Alexandrovichi, the Vladimirovichi and some members of the Mikhailovichi and Nikhailovichi branches of the Romanov Imperial Family.
Numerous photographs throughout the book enhanced my learning.
Boland's explanation of those early weeks of the Russian Empire's entry into the Great War, especially the insufficient training of calvary regiments on flat fields which singularly failed to prepare horse and rider to navigate the terrain they actually encountered in battle on the Eastern Front, was the first time that civilian me understood this flawed planning.
The differences between German and Russian standards of battle field medical facilities and transports was clarified for me more than ever before in this work.
I was highly conscious of my stunned, then startled reaction by the nature of Prince Oleg's war wound.
Surely, I've read and own "Gilded Prism," "Memories of the Marble Palace," and the diary entries of Oleg's father K.R., but I had not grasped until reading this book the hideousness of Oleg's fatal injury.
Which is just as well, because I am inclined to immerse myself in reading again relevant parts of those other works. Just as I "follow-up" by reading for myself some of the references cited in every book I read.
But I was left wondering if better battle field medical facilities located nearer to the Eastern Front could have saved Prince Oleg's life.
As a retired Latino counseling psychologist (culturally imbued with the Sorrowful Mother at the Foot of The Cross, which I find similar to the devotion to the Mother of God Orthodox iconography), the worst human suffering I ever saw in my clinical practice were bereaved parents.
Bereaved parents' anguish is most often physically manifested in excruciatingly painful, violent abdominal diaphragm spasms that leads the sufferer to feel like they are being ripped in half.
So, both personally and professionally, I came away with much more compassion for Prince Oleg's father K.R. and, more than ever, for the Prince's mother "Mavra."
Given my own educational background and decades of field-based live-supervision of graduate level individual and family therapists, I found "Death of a Romanov Prince" to be a humanizing case study of one of the lesser known Romanovs.
