Tour of 92 Locust St. Apartment #3:
Our old apartment, where we lived between August 1995 and February 2000, had
a number of charming features in its 500 square feet:
- "Indian" shutters (they open on the inside, so we don't need curtains or
shades; they are all closed in these pictures because it was nighttime when
I took them);
- very little storage space (just the kitchen cabinets -- all two of them
-- and the one small closet;
- a refrigerator that hums like there's no tomorrow;
- very high ceilings (makes it look a lot bigger!);
- all the walls and fixtures painted the same off-white color (thanks to
our landlord...);
- a hardwood floor in the main room;
- and two boarded-up fireplaces, one of which has been sliced in half by
the wall that divides the master bedroom from the computer room!
The place was built around 1865, and must have been gorgeous in its youth (like
most Victorians), but since being carved into seven apartments (of which ours
is the largest) it has seen a few hard knocks. The previous tennants in that apartment
were smokers, with a cat that left its odiferous calling card in the closet; on
hot days, you can still smell it -- yuck! For all of its little faults, it was
a nice place, and had been "home" from August of 1995 to February of 2000. It
was a little hard to leave, but our new place is a bazillion times nicer! 500
square feet just didn't keep us anymore...
Anyway, on to the tour:
- Start in the Main Room.
- From there, you can walk into the Hallway, which
leads to
- the Master Bedroom,
- the Computer Room, and
- the Bathroom.
- While it's not in the apartment as such, it is a necessary (if evil) part
of our lives. Here it is... the AndreaMobile!
