Although the rooms are large and ceilings high, there are surprisingly few nooks where a bookcase might fit, and you don't want to be banging holes in its century-old walls to mount standard & bracket shelving.

The project won't start until next spring; right now we're tackling the roof and the last of the exterior work. I did bring in an engineer to discuss load levels, and it looks safe. I'll post an architectural drawing as the time approaches, but the general idea is to have 12 short bookcases, 36" high and 46" wide, each holding approx 210 books and weighing about 250 lbs. Between the bookcases will be 40" of access space, with shelving for heavy and oversize books on the pony wall between them. Watch the "What's New" section of http://comstockhouse.org for details.
