The residential blocks behind it are modest early-1900s workers' housing.

• Test GFCIs with their own buttons twice a year - storm season and the fall are the metro's natural dates - and replace any that fail to trip or reset.
• In an aluminum-era home, treat device replacements as connection work: the device must match the wiring method, every time.
• Keep a note of which outlets are GFCI-protected and which single GFCI guards a string - it turns a dead-outlet mystery into a one-minute answer.
