So this is our new flat. The three-story apartment building we live in was built in 1900. As you can see, much of its Victorian architectural heritage is intact: crown mouldings, coved 12 foot ceilings, wainscotting - both wood panel and floral-etched plaster, a large bay window, a built-in china cabinet and two hand-crafted fireplace mantles. Trav and I are Victorian architecture enthusiasts so San Francisco is a real feast for the eyes. It's going take some time, but we're looking forward to putting our signature on this place.
