Jeff Marks, member and future neighbor at 2244, helped me pull out the pocket doors and their hardware.
This is the bigger main pocket door for the parlor room. There are two more 'less wide' ones laying down behind it (one has the pulley still attached)
We hope to use one of the smaller doors as the slider door between the master bedroom and bath.

Interior...
Here's a historic mantle we were able to salvage. Its pretty beat up and missing some trim, but I think we can make it look nice.
This is currently sitting in the front 'parlor room' on the first floor as you walk into the home. This room is another historic feature we must maintain.
To the left is the wall I took the pocket door and associated hardware out of. We will be restoring it and maintaining the original configuration.
You can also see some of the original wall 'wainscoating' It's such a shame they let these homes become so dilapidated.

The second floor roof in the rear of the home.
As you can see we have a great ventilation system for the spring and early fall =) We have two chimneys which will need repaired. No don't excited, these aren't for original wood fireplaces. If they are used at all it will be for venting things like the HVAC and water heaters.
You can also see part of our back alley who we share with folks on Eutaw St... VERY nice street of 3 and 4 story brownstones and victorians

Raise the Roof ya'll ....
Our piece of green
Its not too much, but just enough for a city row home... Fire escape is coming off, the back cantilevered rear bay will be historically rebuilt. The tree is mainly dead and will be coming out. We'll have a nice new sewer main running to the alley after stabilization.
Once again the house to the right will be rehabbed through one of our group members, and the two to the left were just completed...
