In older homes like these, the main remodeling goal is often a more welcoming, more social, and more functional kitchen.

My house is sitting on one right now, its the only one I worked with to date but I do try and recommend it to folks who ask me about foundation alternatives. Make sure there is externally applied foundation water proofing, I have heard of people having water problems in basements installed without it. The pre-installed holes for the anchor bolts make bolting the sill plate to it a breeze, lay the plate on the wall square it up, temporarily clamp it in place and drill up from below, then simply push hex bolts through and bolt on top of plate, saves a lot of layout time.
