Not just us, but the even more concrentrated autism that is 4Chan (since Contra openly acknowledges reading
/lgbt/ /tttt/)
Let's not forget the time Shia Lebouf moved his flag and literally broadcast it against an empty sky:

and the autists on 4chan tracked flight patterns and mapped stars to locate the flagpole, and then stole the flag a day after it started being broadcast from there.
Bravo on the excellent post as always, though. How sure are we that this is a Victorian house, though? I mean sure, there's definitely Victorian-esque features in that house like the bannisters and what appear to be sash windows, but at the same time the skylight is starkly modern and one minor sperg of mine will be the door panels - a lot of the interior doors are six paneled like this:

which is generally Georgian. Victorians would have seen that as old fashioned and tended to go for four panels (which do appear to also be present, but then the mismatch is quite confusing). It could be a Victorian property that's had a lot of work done, but something's off about the wood flooring and general layout that I can't put my finger on. The dado rail is only present in one room as well, and the way it's installed screams modern (typically the dado rail would have a, well, dado/wainscoating underneath - you wouldn't really see just a dado rail by itself).
I'm getting the impression that this might be an 80s/90s McMansion that was designed as a pastiche of heritage styles. The presence of antiques throws that off. Mind you I might be getting thrown off by those rugs and non-antique darkwood furniture, which is giving me very "you've gone over to your schoolfriend's house in the mid 1990s".
If it
is a dreary faux-old McMansion and Baltimore is what I think it's like (one of the poorest cities in the US?) then it might actually have been comparatively cheap for the amount of space Contra has.
