Have you ever stumbled upon a hidden gem while remodeling or moving into a new home?
Modern Met definitely did and its quite the story to tell.
A Redditor named Yamaha234 recently shared a photograph of what his in-laws discovered in their home after they ripped up the old carpet. Underneath it was a rather large Monopoly board, completely hand-painted. Park Place, the Boardwalk, jail, they are all there. You can see a photo of the massive Monopoly board right here.

This painted Monopoly board is totally accurate to the layout of the original Parker Brothers (now Hasbro) game.
According to a comment from another Redditor named Nrith, in mid-century America, this was a fad.
In their comment, they said “Showed this to my wife. She reminded me that there’s a whole neighborhood near us, built in the mid-50s. One that has game boards painted or tiled onto their basement floors. Seems to have been a selling point or something.”
Just wondering if the game pieces may be tucked away in the walls.
