Contest with a real prize--nothing to loose!
I found both of these items (new in package, in quantity) at a 'yard sale' at an old stationery shop, for very cheap! If I feel generous I might give the second person to email me with a good answer their pick as well.

Weekend & A Disgruntled Psuedo-Architect

This is a more expensive house now.
This a more expensive house in 1918. Notice it has something lacking today--good taste.(And all those special purpose rooms. People had different expectations then.)
An upper middle range house today.
And an upper middle range in 1920. Again, notice it is tasteful not glamorous and false.I agree this is very special-interest, and also opinionated. (But it's my opinion and my special interest!)
But if you share at least a mild dislike of McMansions let me know something about it.
Recommendations for number of bathrooms in a middle-class home (no maid or nurse):
2 beds/1 bath -- 3 beds/1 or 1.5 baths -- 4 beds/1.5 or 2 baths -- 5 beds/2 baths
I know this title would work great with a funny story. I'll try for a humorous look at part 2!

You're going to love this envelope

Blanked out the name and address, hope you don't mind when you see this!
My address again. I always love letters. :p
But I couldn't resist. Seeing this old envelope with old stamps,
yet the new postmark and little orange lines on the back.
I was going to upload typecast today but it turned out to be too grim, too political.
