Interiors

I continue to be fascinated/charmed by interior photos of the house provided by the "children" of Eileen Gailey.  I know we're lucky to have these, but they leave me wanting more.

That said.

Interior shot of the living room, 1915:





and today:




We just noticed there is an extra row (or two) of bricks in the current picture of the fireplace, which leads us to believe it was rebuilt at some point.  However, a phone call to the Kitsap County Assessors Office found no paperwork for any building permits/etc. 


With the amazing views, I'm not sure why they positioned the couch in front of the fire place, but I'm assuming because they were more interested in heat?



and 2011.
