This Old House (1979)

Episode Overview

The episode begins in the charming town of Milton, Massachusetts, established in 1662, where the team has acquired a Colonial house dating back to around 1725 for restoration and future sale. The This Old House crew inspects the property, including the impressive post-and-beam barn. Their assessment reveals an awkward layout for contemporary living, some signs of decay, but overall, a solid structure brimming with possibilities. Jinny Devine, who has owned the home for 38 years, fondly reminisces about raising her four sons there.
