Here It Was: A mix of 1920's, 1950's and 1970's

My guess is that the house stayed pretty much original throughout the Martin's residency.  Then perhaps Mr. Millaway's big remodeling project in 1957 was to update the kitchen for his wife with a beautiful, ultra-modern General Electric suite of appliances and metal cabinetry.

The decades passed and the cabinetry served my family well, but now they look like something more suited for a mechanic's garage.

The floor linoleum was blue, 9"x9" classroom tile that was thankfully rubber-based and not asbestos.

You'll see from the gallery of before pictures that there was a mud room we used for the washer and dryer and a tiny breakfast nook where the family incredibly dined for every meal.  There was also an under-appreciated butler's pantry that will be greatly appreciated now.
