What my son is after is not a period restoration. He's looking to do

I missed that the house really was old--I thought it was just an attempt
to create a look.

You/he'll have to suit yourselves but to me it seems almost sacrilege to
put something like this down w/ adhesive...if the structure is worth
anything as far as its heritage it is worth not doing something
essentially irreversible.
