This 1930 brick house in Ambridge, PA is a real treasure! Look at the hobbity little feature out front. (Is it a potato shed?) 3bds, 3ba, 2,052sqft, $375k.

Two doors on the front porch.

The home is move-in ready and a blank canvas for your color choices. But, focus on the spectacular original woodwork.

I don't believe I've ever seen such an extensive built-in on a stair wall.

Long built-in window benches and a lovely stone fireplace.

Look at the radiator covers in the dining area- I bet that would keep you real warm in winter if you put the table there and used it as a banquette.

The dining room is very large. You could probably make a family/dining room combination here. Beadboard wainscoting is very nice and look at the built-in shelving.

The kitchen isn't very big, but it's fine. A little dated with the cabinets and laminate counters, but the appliances are new.

Nice big primary bedroom with wood paneling and a built-in dresser.

Updated ensuite, but I like the Art Deco look of the tub.

Close-up of the funky little marble fountain. Weird exposed faucet, though.

Swirling stairs to the upper level.

What a fun bedroom. So many built-ins in this house.

Adorable tower room. This would make a wonderful little art studio or office.

Shower room up here.

Huge finished attic.

Basement workshop.

Isn't this great? A little guest cottage.

I would rent this out.

It even has a finished lower level.

Garden shed on the grounds.

Big deck on the back, lots of parking and a garage under the house. Plenty of room for a pool. 1.3 acre lot.

The Hexagon House Hotel, Mineral Wells, Texas,

This unique four-story, hexagonal structure was designed to optimize airflow throughout its 30 rooms, which made it popular in the hot Texas climate. It was also among the first hotels in the town to feature rooms lit by electricity. 

It was constructed of long-leaf yellow pine; the exterior was cypress siding, and the roof was covered with hand-split cypress shingles. The interior was of "Heart of Pine" (The hardest that could be found) wood.

All the stone work was done by two English stone-masons. The building was constructed with pegs and square nails.

The four staircases inside spiraled through the five floors.

The lobby floor was covered with hexagon-shaped tan, brown and blue tiles.

The rooms were hexagon-shaped with a bath between every two rooms. 

Construction was started in 1895 and completed in 1897. The building was dismantled in 1959 for its building materials.
