This Old House (1979)

Episode Overview

Realtor Hammie Heard takes us on a tour of the Dreamland Theatre, a historic gem in downtown Nantucket. Originally a Quaker meeting house, it transformed into a straw hat factory, a roller rink, and even part of a hotel at Brant Point before becoming the island's largest cinema in 1904. Now listed at $4.2 million, this 15,000-square-foot space offers endless possibilities and stunning views. Meanwhile, Bruce Killen inspects the interior insulation for soundproofing and heat zoning, and reveals new etched glass from California, perfectly matching the original front door panel. Our host checks in with blueboarders David and Eric Sandrson as they navigate the complex angles of the upstairs rooms, then joins designer Jock Gifford to explore a Victorian-style kitchen in another home, assisting the Bentleys in their kitchen design decisions.
