The Maresh/Racket Store Building

This former commercial building-turned residence at 120 East 8th St. was the highlight of the Georgetown Heritage Society's 2013 home tour for me. I have been wanting to see it for years, and finally got the chance. It was well worth the 15-minute wait in near-freezing temperatures. What architect Tom Nichols has done inside the house is truly amazing. Even though the house only has about 800 square feet of living space, they have managed to pack in an entry room, a living room, a dining area a kitchen, a bedroom, an office and an amazing bathroom.
