They converted back to coal for an old Victorian and the son collects parlor stoves. Will
wonders ever cease.

I had breezed through part of that article and missed that part. Thanks for posting. A Victorian ought to have coal heat. I wonder what a bulk delivery would involve there.

Some very nice Victorians in Centre park. Many dollars spent restoring some of those in the 70's and 80's. Shame that the crime rate is off the charts in Reading.
