Regarding older houses, I and a partner use to specialize in selling houses built in the mid 1700's to early 1900's. I use to tell first time "old home buyers" that they needed to have deep pockets and a sense of humor when buying one of those fantastic older residences. We always knew who were true buyers.

Glass door knobs, love them.... same with pocket doors :)

My Grandparents house is Connecticut had a well inside the house near the kitchen. I remember Grandma's wood burning stove. Grandma had heavy curtains on the hallway frame between the kitchen and the rest of the house.... brrr the rest of the house was very chilly. On the bed heavy goose down quilts, so thick that one could play hide and seek and no one would ever see you under that quilt :)

jinglebts, I checked on the internet and was surprised that companies here in the States still make these craw type things... they are called screen door catch. Didn't see any photos of the very old ones that were black with black rollers on them.
