You never know what you'll find in these old houses...


This is another picture of the foundation. This in itself is not interesting. But the following is:


Someone left their empty alcohol bottles in the foundation! These bottles are dated early 1930's. They have a special seal and stamp for gov't alcohol taxes. Also left in the foundation was a small personal planner, also from that period from whomever was working in there then. Just goes to show you that you'll never know what you might find in an old house like this. It makes for interesting stories, one of the reasons I love old things. :)
