For the whole house I hope...

It was $750 for a three bedroom near WPI in 1992. Ours had left over (disconnected) gas jet lighting, sliding wooden pocket doors for one of the living rooms and a separate entrance for one of the bedrooms (for maid I think). You could see where chimney for the original coal stove in the kitchen was. Also had a slate roof.

Fellow WPI grad, in 2012 I paid 275/person/month for an admittedly crappy apartment that I shared with 4 people, and later on 475/person/month for a room in a nicely renovated 3 story house right next to campus shared with 5-6 people. This one didn't have that many remnants except for an ironing board in the kitchen that plopped out of a wall closet, and a button next to the stairs indoors that said, ominously, "Sedgwick". It seemingly did nothing. We never figured out who or what Sedgwick was. We made sure to press it every so often, to "feed the Sedgwick" :-)
