We live in an old firehouse in Oakland. It was built in the early 1900's, in the days when many places still used horse-draw fire trucks. The place has changed a lot over the past century, and even though it's now surrounded by a nice fence and plants, you can still tell it's a firehouse by looking at the shape of the building, the main front doors, and the fact that along the front of the building, the whole curb is tapered down, not just where the current driveway is.
Anyway, when we moved in here, one of the first things we needed was a coat rack, so I took some copper water pipe, and made a long row of connected coat hooks. It's attached to the wall with 5 screws and held together with glue and a few set screws... no need for soldering this one. It's super useful and looks great by our front door.
