This is crazy- this 1900 home in Kane, PA was a single family residence converted into a quadplex. The 7bd, 4ba, 3,924sqft building can be converted back to a single family, or a home w/rental income. But, here's the kicker- it's only $185k! (It's waaay upstate on top of PA- nowhere near Philly or Pittsburgh.)

Beautiful original wood, pocket doors, and a fireplace in the entrance hall.

I'm thinking that this would be the main unit's living room. I wonder what those wood box-like structures are. Maybe closets? This would be the largest, 3bd. unit.

Certainly, this is supposed to be the dining room. There's a built-in cabinet next to the fireplace.

Very vintage kitchen looks like it has original cabinetry, and definitely, a gigantic antique drainboard sink.

The colors are so drab in this home, I'm beginning to think that it would look better in white. It needs some colorful decor.

There's a small 3pc. shower room.

A bedroom was made off the living room when they adapted the house to a quadplex.

It's a large room and it looks like those are pocket doors. It has a fireplace, too.

There's also a large 2nd bd. Maybe this is the primary bedroom.

Because it has a huge vintage ensuite.

This back hall is confusing. Was it once a Dr.'s office or is this an architectural salvage door?

And, this must be either a side or back entrance hall.

Look at this wall of closets.

This one looks like a spacious attic apt.

It has a nice kitchen.

Plus, 2 large bedrooms.

And, a bath. They don't show the 3rd apt. and the studio apt. that are mentioned in the listing.

The house has some pretty details.

Cute garage, too. The stairs to the right must be the separate entrance to one of the units. The lot is 8,276.4sqft. For the price, this house has a lot of potential.

Hey, so idk who exactly to tell about this, but I went to a friend's place and it was bigger on the inside than it was on the outside. He said the owner of the building "knew a guy" and all 4 apartments (converted old duplex, I guess it's a quadplex now) were like that. The window just showed the street outside like normal, even though it should have logically been impossible. It really freaked me out, even though it was kind of cool.

Is that a thing that you're allowed to do to a building? I've tried to contact the landlord but he won't talk to me about it. He just accuses me of "being a fed." I wish I could get the number of his "guy," because if it's legal, I'd love to make my own house bigger on the inside.

Woof, this is a complex one. (Apartment complex? Hah.)

The simple answer is this is illegal*. The complex answer is that in the 1930s, this happened a lot. Through various extranormal means, spatially-noncompliant architecture was a service secretly provided in a few metropolitan areas, New York especially. It was understandably in high demand during the Great Depression - if you could get your extended family under one small roof, rent was effectively cheaper. Even mundane clients knew about it, and either thought it was clever architectural tricks or just didn't question it. HMES had laws on the books about this for ages, but we hadn't yet, so a lot of the practitioners of those skills who still kept those secrets came over to ply their trade from the 1910s-30s. Extranormal organized crime was known for this, and abusing it - there's only so much you can stretch a place before it goes....wonky. Mother's Hand, Uncees, Five Stars, the █████████, all of them dabbled in one way or another.

In 1932 we commenced Operation Doorway, an attempt to catalog, explore, and if possible reverse spatially-noncompliant building interiors across the country. This was mostly successful - we reversed a good amount of them, but some were too far gone. It was agreed that some buildings would stay spatially-noncompliant, provided that access to those buildings would remain in extranormal hands (typically passed down in a family), and further spatially-noncompliant architecture is extremely regulated.

So, if your building in question seems really old, it very well could be it's one of the handful of buildings grandfathered in, but otherwise, yeah, we'll have to make a visit.

Any understanding of class that derives from mid-20th century Britain, United States, or Canada is probably wrong. And that’s a problem because that’s where most people get their ideas about class.

If you look further back, middle housing (townhomes, condos, apartments, triplexes, quadplexes, etc) are where the middle class historically found themselves living (usually, there are exceptions). Suburbs are mostly new and they are extremely wasteful. The idea that people lived in single family homes or even semi-detached housing with large green outdoor spaces (as opposed to shared courtyards) just strikes me as very, very silly and very, very American.

A better, more honest, more accurate description of the decline of the middle class is not just the disappearance of middle housing—it’s how much middle housing has deteriorated qualitatively. We no longer consider that apartments can be big enough to raise families in. Nor do we consider that they should be well-made enough to hold up to decades of uninterrupted housing.

“Luxury” condos have nothing on early-20th brownstones of the working class. And that’s the problem.

I am having trouble reconciling the same people who rightly said that density over space are now claiming that the birthright of the middle class is the ownership of implied single family homes, presumably with spacious yards. No.

There is no class worth establishing that pines for the trappings of the rich. And there’s no need to establish it anyway, it already exists. That’s the upper middle class.

I cannot believe people are saying that waste is the only sign of being middle class that matters again. But, what’s worse, I can believe people are buying it.

Anyone who says that is no better than the TikTokers who insist that $500 Shein hauls are a necessity and excess clothing (to the point of never wearing the same outfit twice) is a human right.

Another thing I don't see brought up often enough when we talk about "old houses" (which I hate as a term for its lack of specificity) is that a lot of people want to assume based on some kind of weird architectural survivorship bias that ALL homes built before a certain date (most often talking about homes built pre-1945 or homes built pre-1900) were sturdy well-constructed paragons of craftsmanship and finely detailed character, when in actuality, there were cheap shit homes built in 1810 just like there are cheap shit homes built now, it's just that those ones aren't still standing and the ones built from expensive materials by people who really knew what they were doing are a lot more likely to be in a livable condition 100+ years on. So like yeah the cheaply-constructed quadplex built in 2015 isn't as durable or as nice as the Edwardian mansion, but that's comparing apples to oranges, try comparing it to tenement housing of the same period and see how the construction compares. If they were to look at rich people houses today and compare them to rich people houses from 120 years ago, they'd find that quality construction and materials universally have more to do with the money in the buyers' hands than they have to do with the year a building is completed.

Selection Effects Rule Everything Around Me

this whole shared living space experience has largely been practice run of what living in hell must be like. i have learned that the average person is self serving, self absorbed, and permanently stunted in every and all ways. if you are a single woman renter who values peace and quiet, you must avoid any and all types of shared living arrangements: duplexes, apartments, quadplexes and so on. if you can help it, say no to it.

if you can't at the moment, do what you can to increase your finances to afford a house or a garage apartment that is all your space and belongs only to you. don't be afraid to negotiate prices if you have to, people will bless you when you least expect it because after all, everyone loves making life easy for you if you allow them to.

you must be willing to fight for yourself, always because your success is inevitable. trust me.

tell us more about your garden!

I live in a quadplex with a shared yard, and I'm allowed to plant within a designated space. I have been unsuccessfully growing garlic for a few years now, and successfully grow little tomatoes each summer! I also currently have basil for the season, and planted some ornamental black mondo grass that my grandma gave me from her yard, which is so pretty and grows prolifically. I'm hoping it'll make lots of babies to fill in an empty side patch I have
