There is a lot to love about homes of this time. They were designed and crafted by those who had a deep understanding of their trade, and a passion for elevating the home into grand living. This home specifically has tall bay windows that look out onto magnificent maple trees, high beautiful plaster and tin detailed ceilings, marble fireplaces, a grand set of winder stairs, and an overall sense of grandeur created by the interior and exterior detailing evident in molding build ups and incredible wood working. 383 Spring Street has some interesting lore that may explain much about its layout. Originally, this building was built for two sisters in the 1860's. The building was split in half by a party wall down the middle under the ridge, making it a duplex. There are no passageways that interlink the two homes leading one to believe these sisters must not have been the best of friends. It is this distinct splitting of the volume that begins to cause problems for those that live here. The party wall blocks the spaces from flowing from one side of the building to the other, in effect blocking light from reflecting through the spaces across the volume. The net effect of this building split by the party wall is an arrangement that leaves all living spaces (bedrooms, dinning room, living room, etc.) towards the outside of the building where windows are, and pushes the circulation up against the party wall causing very dark, narrow, and tall hallways on the first, second, and attic floors.
