[TowerTalk] Old "clothes line" type aerial Question

I have an old wood house on a SMALL lot (1/10th acre) by the sea.  To
keep the area looking "old" I am willing to put up an old three parallel
wire 1920s style aerial.  My questions are: Is it one wire run back and
forth? Multiple wires? Will it operate several bands?  (end to end it
will have slightly over 35' so I guess my lowest band will be 40m) How
and where do I feed it? I can use single wire, ladder line, or co-ax
only if necessary.  I have a tuner which can use any of the three.  Any
counterpoise?  And probably what should be the first question: will it
work reasonably?  Any information will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks,

73,

John KB4CRT
