how old is the house? older houses used true dimensional lumber instead of what we have now.. a old 2X10 was made from first growth lumber and measured 2X10, a new 2X10 is from 2nd 3rd growth and only measures 1 and 5/8th X 9 and 5/8th.
So older floors are stronger than new floors.. your best bet is to go see an architect and tell him exactly what you want to do and ask him what would need to be done for you to do it.
