This is 1920 very large 3-story house with a single boiler in the basement and baseboard radiators in each room. The radiant portion of this system looks perfectly typical. The building has no air conditioning. In addition to the radiators, the boiler also sends hot water to an old fan coil unit in the basement, with ducts leading some of the 1st floor rooms and some of the 3rd floor rooms. This is not a normal configuration in my area. I had thought that perhaps the designer was trying to defeat stratification of hot air, but that seems unlikely. Is this common in other areas? Any idea why this would be done?
