(Update: John wins one Internets)
Even the educated guesses on the last two were pretty good. This one ain’t easy.
(Update: George Grady got it in the comments. One Free Internets for George!)
(Update) Well. I’ve finally found one that took more than a day to figure out. Commenter Eric, who is very observant, wonders who would have a picture of Oliver Cromwell on the wall. A fine clue, that. I’ll tell you no one Irish would have that picture. I bet it was the father of the object of our architectural affections, who built the house. The fellow we’re looking for eventually moved right down the street, and lived for a good long time at that address, too:
This one’s easy. Gloomy old pile.
(Update: Not as easy as I thought, apparently. Here’s a picture of the object of our architectural affection’s birthplace:)

(UpUpdate: Not so easy after all, I guess. Should be. Here’s what it looked like after remodeling:)

Update: Excellent surmises in the comments. Not correct, though. Additional picture clue:

(Up-Update: Teresa got it in the comments. Two Free Internets for Teresa! Here’s the back of the old shack:)
(Update: I thought this one would be easy. Shows you what I know. Here’s the back of the manse:)
Not Nez Perce. Wore a pince nez, though.
(up-update: Tom L has it in the comments. Tom wins Two Intarnets!)
Whose house was this? Somewhat austere, but elegant. The house, too.
(Update: No one’s got it yet. Here’s another room:)
Update: J.Beck gets it in the comments. He wins ONE INTARNETS!
