TV room on the first floor and radio room on the third floor, looks great Bob. That easy access from garage to basement is fantastic!!!

Change all those standard Leviton switches to 1920's pushbutton types with brass plates, now that's original. The receptacles, where you do not have a ground wire to the box, can be changed to GFCI type. A 200 amp service panel will give you more breaker pole space but the meter base and service cable outside will need to be changed also. Since load is not being increased, it may not be worth it. That is still a good 100 amp panel.

Your house is old enough to have been heated with coal, so maybe the area under the front porch had a coal chute coming in.
