Rented a townhouse (in Connecticut) that had swinging "saloon" doors between kitchen and dining room at the EXACT hight of my youngest sons forehead! 

I knew there might be problems when the original fellow asked me if it would be OK if they set up bunk beds in the dining room (?

Anyone in Texas looking to get away for the weekend to enjoy the river walk, farmer's markets, and fine dining (yes fine dining!) 

They stayed warm due to generating lots of heat internally and only heating the portions of the house being used {i.e. you would not heat the dining room or salon during the night}.With older properties we usually lay-out a plan to improve the building envelope first through air sealing (getting rid of drafts and convection within the wall cavities) and, where possible, insulation {not always straight forward ... many old brick buildings have limited insulation options due to the brick requiring heat transfer from inside to drive moisture from the brick}.Around here it is not uncommon to find an old mansion converted to multiple units - or the occasional purpose-built multi-unit - where the operating costs are 70 - 80% of the revenue and heating comprises 20 - 25% of the operating costs.  

If there's no other dining space provided, I would want the dinning room instead.

We would all share the kitchen/dining room/living room/W&D.

There are some really nice brick face row homes that remind me of Hoboken or Downtown Jersey City, and parts of High Street (the main shopping/dining street) are great.
