I suspect that the material is limestone. You can easily start making that stone more stable and less prone to weathering. In a five gallon bucket put 6 inches of lime. Add three gallons of water. Mix. Allow the kime to settle out for a day. Put the strained water in a garden sprayer and spray down the stones. The material in the water will form new micro crystals that you cannot see. These will strengthen the stone and make it more water resistant without altering the appearance at all. Do this a couple if times over two years. And don’t forget to repoint the joints.

You can always try "hidden" outlets. Have them behind a bit of slotted panel. My Grandpa did them in the cabin up in the woods that he had built for my Grandmother all by hand back in the 40's when he was updating the small cabin in the late 80's. My Grandmother wanted to hide anything not original to the cabin. She loved that cabin.

Kaleb, when comes time to paint the fireplace mantle, don`t just paint it in. First you`ll have to infill the divits with an artist grade infill putty- the same as they use when restoring a painting. That brings it up to the surface so when you paint, it will blend with the rest without being bumpy. I had a mantle from this same period that was covered in white paint. I spent about three months carefully chipping away the white with a scalpel. It turned out great but what a job it was!!

You're absolutely correct in your approach. This restoration is more of a conservation. In conservation work you always research first, use the mildest solvents, and work your way up, until you find something that works without doing any damage. There is loads of information with object conservation from museums and other similar institutions that can be great resources on how to better conserve this building. As far as the fireplace is concerned. I suppose you might classify the tri-tip design as a trefoil design, at least in the technical sense, since it has three points. Insofar as electrical is concerned, I'd highly recommend checking out the 2018 International Residential Code or IRC. The section on electrical is easy to understand and should be immensely useful. Missouri complies with the IRC but St. Louis and/or the State of Missouri may have additional requirements.

You are making great strides, Kaleb! I saw a documentary on historic Victoria Mansion in Portland, Maine, which was built of either Limestone or Sandstone. It had never been painted, but had some of the same issues with layers peeling away. You will get it figured out. While the brick presents another challenge, at least 'only' the front is stone. I feel your frustration with contractors. It's rare to find one who shares your level of care for preservation, and the few old craftsmen who do are a dying breed.

The place is screaming for a finished touch to those bare windows and over the front door. Awnings that stick out about 24inches, with a loop trim. In dark green color with minimal white pinstripe trimming. AND to give the windows some depth, use two tones of whatever color you decide to paint them on the exterior. the muntins, storms should be the lighter shade of the color, and around the frames should be the darker. Lots of depth, and the molding wants it!

I just love the design of the fireplace mantle, just beautiful and very interesting. I had never heard of Eastlake style before watching your channel.

People paint woodwork because the brown color is often overwhelming.The problem with this approach is that as the paint is damaged, more layers are added, which in itself is unsightly. As for leaving the woodwork original, this is more a matter of taste. Men tend to prefer the wood tones., women do not. Women are usually the ones who prevail in such matters, hence the majority of woodwork found in old homes is painted.But this house is yours, so you don't have to concern yourself with anyone's ideas. You are doing a great job and the vids are fun to watch!
