I’m thinking that electricity and indoor plumbing were common in new homes at the turn of the last century. I did learn that, while new houses had fireplaces, they often (usually?) had electric fireplaces INSIDE the brick openings.

I love local history and If anyone on the list serve lived through this time here in Capitol Hill, I would love to have you over for a coffee, tea or beer and hear your oral history. I can also share mine, but I grew up in a cul de sac in McLean in the 80's...
