Up

We'll close today with a look at what remains of the wallpaper upstairs.

Mantle

At least the 19th century mantle has been kept in good condition.

Blown Out

The interior of Palace Green is humble, as is expected of a middle class house of this age. It's also full of what was left behind by the Janda family, who last inhabited this home before it entered the hands of our neglectful land developer.

Textured

Another look at this majestic home's unique brickwork. And tomorrow, we'll continue by taking a look at what's left on the inside of this unfortunate victim of the modern, amnesiac age.

Unravel

The foundation at Palace Green is beginning to unravel, and if the deterioration continues to progress unabated, it won't be long before a bulldozer will no longer be necessary. It's not too unstable to walk in, however.

Processed without color, just for effect.

Handled

A detailed look at the handle on the back door. We'll look at a couple more shots of the exterior before we move on and take a brief look indoors.

Lower Part, Not

The lower part of the door is not as green, though the remarkably old-looking stone that serves as a back stoop appears to be turning a shade or two green.

One Part Green

The trim around the back door, which is still almost as green as it was on the day it was first painted, I'm sure.

Portal

The back door at Palace Green is mostly intact, other than a lack of paint and the usual broken glass.

Intersection

The newer chimneys appeared to have a plaster coating of some sort on the lower bricks. I don't know how it looked originally, but in its present state it certainly makes for an interesting contrast to the weathered siding!
