We all know about "Haunted Houses", they are always dark and forboding .... and thereby maybe more mysterious?
The original floorplan of my house had an open stairway to the upstairs then maybe around 1940 somebody enclosed the stairway with cardboard-like covered walls making the stairway dark without a light being turned on.
I built wooden boxes around each of these tall 1870 windows and made each window a display box for veiwing from outside of the house as customers wait outside or drive by gauking.
Now one "box" is gone for good and customers and gaukers will be able to look in via an upstairs window and see other customers as they reach the top of the steps and enter the now open hallway next to the stairs, I think I just solved my "what am I going to put in my display window" question...my living, breathing, moving customers!
