My job is to rehab low income housing. I choose paint, carpet, cabinets,fixtures etc. The best quality budget allows so these things last a long time, So the families don't have to replace as often. It is not a glam job, and I don't often get to see the families that live there but it can be fun. But the city decieded to bring some of the more historic homes back to life. And this is such a treat for me to see. Things are just getting started so I took some pictures so everyone can see this beautiful victorian. I live in ogden utah, 25 miles from promatory point. This is where east and west met and the union pacific railroad was born. So that means we had a major train station in our city, which meant that there was alot of people with money that lived here. So we have a ton of mansions that are incredible, they have alot of inported building materials, like elephant hide wallpaper, because of the railroad things were easily shipped in. o I'm sharing my love for these old homes.
