Before you tear out the old staircase, make sure you GC has worked through the rise/run requirements to meet building code. Sometimes, that can dramatically change the space the staircase will take up.

I noticed from your after photos that both sides of the stairs match perfectly. I'm curious if you had install a whole new staircase or if you were able to match both sides based on your existing staircase? I ask because our GC is suggesting that we replace ours with a new one in order to match although I'd prefer to salvage the existing one.

Years later after house was demolished, and after researching its floor plan, I discovered it was either a Sears Home (they came on railroads as kits complete right down to the last nail) or else a Montgomery Ward Home...much like Sears' idea. It was a very simple and rather small house. The inside had Craftsman elements but the outside was quite plain jane ;-) Clearly one of the less expensive models.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
