My Cape Cod cottage is 75 years old & has been through multiple renovations.

The newest renovation (begun last week) is my back bathroom, which was probably added in the 1960s or 70s. There used to be a shower stall in a far corner & apparently a door where the most recent bathtub was located. It's like archeology.

I found this architectural history of Cape Cod cottages on Wikipedia:

Orange is punishing a US-based international news organization because they're continuing to use "Gulf of Mexico" to provide clarity for worldwide audiences. Petty, yes. Stupid too. But I'm still giddy to see the AP Stylebook -- or any #stylebook -- mentioned in news coverage! A big day for #LanguageGuidance, #BrandGuides, and #HouseStyles everywhere! ๐Ÿ˜„

Scoop: Why Trump targets AP

Longstanding Republican grievances made AP a target even before the newswire's Gulf of America decision.

Inspired by this, I put together a new photo album of these. There are a lot of them, but it's a small percentage of the 2,000-2,500 such homes in this area of Brooklyn. And they rarely change hands.
