As far as we can tell, the downstairs is original wood floors, and much/most of the downstairs is shiplap (walls and ceiling). There is some siding in one room downstairs that we assume was added during a renovation at some point (guessing 80s-90s).
It's got central HVAC with a full Trane system that was installed 1991, so I think that's when it was renovated. It's also modern copper romex and PVC for plumbing. Downstairs has a full bath with semi-private toilet, clawfoot tub and separate small shower. Upstairs has a half bath that looks like it was squeezed in above the downstairs bathroom.
The ceiling downstairs is probably 10' or maybe a bit more. The ceiling upstairs is only about 7'. We are hoping that there's a way that we can expand that up a bit, maybe remove the drywall and open up to the rafters, but that's not going to be any time soon.
I peeled back a corner of the carpet upstairs last Sat and it looks like that's original wood flooring too. We are hoping the entire upstairs has the same flooring.
The upstairs is roughly T-shaped and is all drywall. I got into the attic space and it seems to have some rough old planking with drywall over the top of it. We may at some point (depending upon what happens with the ceiling, change the upstairs to shiplap to match the downstairs. It's just an idea at this point.
The siding is all cement board, hardie board or something like that. Things like casing around windows, fascia, etc... are wood, and some of that has some spots of rot. We are probably going to replace any wood with something like hardie so we don't have to worry about rot.
I'll start another thread on the house itself. The son is getting married in March and wants to do it at the house (outside assuming the weather supports it), so we aren't going to do anything big/major that may not be finished in March or would ruin the atmosphere for the wedding. That gives us a chance to think.
In the stairs in the house, there are 3 photos. One of the photos is of an old couple, and the other two photos are before/after of the renovation. I'll get better photos of those now that we (nearly) own the place. I am hoping that there may be text or a note of some sort on the back of the photos to provide more info about when they were taken or who the people are.
