Gutting the kitchen filled a 20 yard dumpster with 6380 pounds of wood and plaster. Next up is electrical work, insulating the exterior walls and drywall.
While removing the plaster from the ceiling I made a few more discoveries.
A Scholastic Composition Book From 1934:
 |
| Because the book was buried in the ceiling and not exposed to light, it's in pretty great condition. |
 |
| Beautiful penmanship. |
A One Pound Van Duyn's Confection Box:
 |
| I couldn't find a date on the box but VanDuyn is a Portland Company that was started in 1927 and is still in business today. When I mentioned to my friend Anne what I had found she said she's had Van Duyn chocolate and it is very good. |
 |
| All the papers from the candy were still in the box. |
 |
| A vintage crumb. |
Clothes Hanger From Allyn's:
 |
| A hanger from Allyn's. I couldn't find any history of the business online but I know it's old because of the phone number - EAST 0123. |
Bowerman Meat Company Business Card:
 |
| Once again I couldn't find anything about this business online. I'm going to have to ask around. |
