This Old House (1979)

Episode Overview

Host Kevin O'Connor meets carpenter Zo Curet in the front parlor, where he's skillfully installing a lightweight foam crown molding that replicates the original 1870s design. Homeowner Lanita Tolentino shares her paint color choices while contractor Ivan Batallas works on an accent wall in the back bedroom. Meanwhile, master carpenter Norm Abram checks out a workshop where the eight-foot oak front doors and sidelights are being crafted and pre-installed as a single unit. A short drive away, Kevin explores an architectural antiques shop with owner Bill Raymer, who generously offers a matching marble fireplace surround for the project.
