Ashley Brandon told Newsweek that it seemed like everything in her house had been preserved and just covered, so she is hoping for more discoveries.
Which is why Brandon was bemused to find one in the second-floor bathroom—with just her hallway beneath it., Brandon explained more about the five-bedroom house, saying:"The house was commissioned in 1885 by the Earl Of Carrick for his clinician Dr. William McFarlane. He stayed in the main house with his wife and various servants until 1926 when he passed. The house is mentioned on his grave stone.
Screengrabs of the"pavement light" discovery. Brandon and her husband were renovating their house when they discovered tiles and glass bricks hidden under carpet."After investigation my thoughts are that the bathroom used to be an outside balcony/back entrance before inside bathrooms were a thing. The pavement light would've been 'outdoors' and used to get light into the hallway as electricity wasn't available then.
Various clips showing off the glass bricks have amassed more than 1 million views in total, with her most recent, posted earlier this week, finally revealing the glasswork from below after she had removed the plaster covering it. "So I couldn't see it on the underneath, and I managed to make a wee hole, and find it in the downstairs hallway. I also found this newspaper that had been stuffed in there, from 1985, that was really cool."
"It seems like everything in the house has been preserved and just covered over so I'm hoping for more discoveries!" Johnkalux noted:"It's odd to see that in a bathroom because those glass tiles were often used as skylights inset into pavement in commercial districts."From Creepy Rooms to Masterpieces, 11 Discoveries Homeowners Made This YearChilson raved:"The glass sky light is beautiful. I have never seen one like that before."While Paul Janusz thought:"It is an old section of sidewalk. It was most likely illuminated from underneath when it was [a] sidewalk.
