thanks all
thanks all for your comments and Steve (cybrvanr), yes the steam heat is AWESOME, its my favorite type of heat. The red radio is an original genuine Emerson tube radio, refurbished and works great. The Western Electric phone refurbished as well and an original also works great. The picture of the house in the bathroom is my folks house. That is the original photo that my mother pulled from a magazine to give to the builder to have built in 1955. My mother loved "modern" back then and it was a different style from anything else in that neighborhood. Its the house I grew up in and my folks still live there today. Its a flat, "hot tar & gravel" roof, no attic. The house gets pretty hot and hard to cool in the summer. The length of the house goes from front to back and not left to right. The living room left to right is about 14' and from front to back about 20' with 12' ceiling at its highest point on one side with clerestory? windows. There are three bedrooms, one bath, LR and kitchen. The modern style "squares" frame the porch or what was called a "breezeway" back then. Growing up my folks glassed it in and later made it into a year round dining room. I still like the original style the best.
