This was an interesting find. When you are pulling apart a house that was built in 1889, you are likely to find some interesting things. I must admit, there haven’t been too many with this latest project. However, the plumbers had reading material in the upper bathroom and left a section of newspaper behind. I was hoping to find some advertising from companies that are still around today, but there weren’t any that I recognized. One interesting ad is for Zimmerman lumber. As it turns out, one of the family members (George J. Zimmerman) was the former mayor of the City of Buffalo.
