Imagine My Surprise!

Coincidence! This afternoon I accompanied my husband to his dentist's appointment. I have not been to this office before. It is in an older Victorian brick home located in the city I live outside. As we walked into the lobby, the first thing I spotted was the staircase to the second floor. My jaw dropped! That is the same staircase that was in my parents home. Sitting in the large waiting room, facing the receptionists desk, I commented that the pillars reminded me of my older sisters first apartment, also located in an old Victorian home. The wood work brought a smile to my face. I looked at the children's play area set up in front of a fireplace. Now, I was flabbergasted. The mantle was also identical to the one found in my parents home. The tile work was a a different colour, but the same tile. The insert had been removed, but otherwise it was the same. What were the odds? My parents home was built in around 1908. I'm not sure when this one was built, but I would assume in the same era. My guess is, they shopped at Eatons as well....old Eatons catalogues show these fixtures available for mail order.
