Oh, m - a - n . . . . . . . . . . . .! ! ! ! What a beauty! All marble, I am sure. I'd love to see a close-up of the carvings and the ironwork in the fireplace itself. Was that in-laid tile in front of the fireplace? Actually a very serene and elegant photograph.

Beautiful craftsmanship on the fire place, and the marble is a great contrast to the mauve(?) wall and blue carpet..

I could sell that whole fireplace tomorrow for $15,000 The cast iron insert looks very clean and all the tiles on the floor are outstanding. A very hard to find piece.

Yes they did that in the house I grew up in-ripped out most of them and blocked up the chimneys. By the time we moved in pigeons were nesting, and they were always cooing-kind of annoying.

I think I was told that those are chestnut baseboards. I worked in this building
late in its life, but I appreciated the its
beauty and the amazing craftsmanship
every day. Lynne's comments are right
on target.
