Jill uses the Super Wonder Bar to pry up the hallway carpet.

Lighting fixture we found in the downstairs parlor. This had been sitting underneath the drop ceilings for who knows how long.

Good picture of our excellent carpet and our fake fireplace. This is made of concrete and we'll have to break it up to get it in the trash.

Upstairs ceiling. Yecch.

Here you can see a) the ceiling tiles, made of some kind of fibrous substance that embeds itself in your skin, and b) the fleur-de-lis linoleum that we took out of the bedroom. Strange.

Jill displays today's trophy.

Picture of the many wallpaper stylings of 1224 McKean Street.

Here is the window which leads to...another part of the house.

Door, no more.

This here is a linoleum fake-carpet. All the rage in the 1950s, apparently.

This is the house's original AC system - a shaft in the center of the house that pushes hot air out through the roof. The window faces into the master bedroom suite - you can see a picture of it from the other side above.

The air shaft (and the only exposed paneling in the house.)

Hook-up for a gas lamp. Hope that's shut off...

Our secret compartment. Jill found a small revolver and some bullets in here; they ended up being taken away by some South Philly police detectives.

This is the ceiling that makes me nervous. The water damage is confined to this space, but obviously the roof hasn't always been so well-sealed.

Anyone have ANY idea what to do with this mini-closet? I wish I'd won more trophies.

This light switch will not be removed from the house under any circumstances.

The bedroom ceiling's more intact, but still has a few dings.

Prepping for our super-classy housewarming party.
