That daily swing makes timber shrink and open its gaps in winter. The city has a large stock of Victorian and Edwardian homes in Scottsville, Clarendon and Town Hill, many with raised timber floors, stamped tin ceilings and thick brick walls. Restorers here work on old pine and Oregon, and also on parquet from later decades. School and church halls add steady demand for sanding and sealing of larger floors.
