Kells 398 Posted September 28, 2021 An unattached small addition on the back solves the problem of how to give each apartment a kitchen and bathroom. I've envisioned a Depression Era boarding house project for so long, I really hated the idea of giving it up. Although, I may still decide to ditch this one and make the Vollmer House into a boarding house, since that's exactly what it was from 1876 to 1967! Quote Link to comment
sage minis 466 Posted September 28, 2021 Generous apartments - much "bigger" than the one we lived in - in S.F. - for 2 years. (Was the lower floor of a Victorian.) Quote Link to comment

If I do the Vollmer as the boarding house, it has a small 1 BR and an even smaller studio apartment on the lower level. Both it and the Barstow would have a former greenhouse converted to a studio apt / artist's loft up on the roof. I've given thought to just putting false doors on the back and pretending the kitchens and baths are in the invisible part of the house, haha. Would spare me from having to do a bunch of kitchens and bathrooms!! Quote Link to comment

Since I mentioned it, I cut the doors out of the frames of an actual photo and stuck a fake kitchen and bathroom behind them, just to see how it might look. Quote Link to comment
