radiators on the ceiling


During demolition we tore down the ugly drop-ceiling in the basement that had been installed in the 1970's when the basement functioned as a mental health clinic. This revealed something I have never seen anywhere: old cast iron radiators bolted to the ceiling provide all the heat for the basement, counter intuitive since heat rises. This may have been done to keep the radiators higher than the boiler so you do not have to drain them every week.


Back laundry room cleaned up. This will become a kitchen.


Back storage area cleaned up. This will become a bathroom
