chair rails are awesome! they run around the [dining] room (usually) at about the height of a chair back, maybe a little lower, so when the chairs are pushed back against the wall they don't ding the wall paper. the chair rail in my parent's house is about an inch and a half deep- just a nice little piece of molding around the room. you can paint them interesting colors, if you're not my parents, who have this thing where the whole inside of the house is painted white. (my dad wanted to paint the living room pink, but insetad he went back to school.)
(mostly, of course, they're a pain to dust- manymany more corners for dust to collect in. they look good though.)
Cool. Of course, the residential rate is only half - the other is how the house is assessed. But you know that. Still, we pay almost double than the listed taxes for that place. Neat!
Chair Rails. Hrm. I'm not sure we do. If you get this place, we'll have to compare woodwork to see. :)

Waltham $11.10
Framingham $16.55
Marlboro $14.90

I think you guys probably have them:
Wooden molding on a wall around a room at the level of a chair back.
