I am fixing up a 5 bedroom house in Philly that was built around 1920. Where can I find out what style furniture, color schemes, window treatments, etc. that would have been in the house when it was new?

Hi Melody,

You have many options.

Go to the library and talk to the Librarian. You can try your local Preservation Society or Historical Society. How 'bout talking to some of your new neighbors??? Also, keep your eye on the newspaper or 'TownTalk' for meetings of groups that might be into this type of 'thing'.

My best to ya and hope this helps.
