I was at the same estate sale, I've been lucky to be at several sales in 1920s homes that have been kept in original condition. One bungalow similar to this still had the original stenciling on the walls in the living and dining rooms. The kitchen in my 1926 Chicago home looked similar to this one when I purchased it, my home had also been in the same family for most of its life.

Unfortunately homes like these get purchased by flippers who remove all the original quality materials and turn the interiors into something that resembles a new suburban condo.

Additional photo of the original tile work and lighting that was in the bathroom:

I was considering buying a home similar to the one shown. It was, at the time, a better part of town. The kitchen was even more original, with the old wall-hung cast iron apron sink. I would've just replaced the sink and linoleum in the kitchen. The rest of the home was really nice.
In a way, I'm glad, I didn't buy it, as the neighborhood changed and the trouble makers moved in.
