The Tiffany Paradox: What decisions led to the current look of The Oldest House?

In this episode, Jim and Janet look for the Tiffany Effect in the 1920's restoration of the Jethro Coffin House, better known as "The Oldest House." We learn a little bit about Peter Coffin, who originally built the house and then invite two guests from the Nantucket Historical Association to discuss its meticulous and complicated restoration.
