Straight ahead from the entry hall is the formal dining room (now the piano room), to the left is the master bedroom and to the right, the living room. The painted finish on the walls and ceiling of the entry hall is faux marble by artist Ami Magill. The dining room woodwork and doors have the original faux burled-walnut finish. The entry door was replicated from a 1940's photo of the original. All three of the hand-carved marble fireplaces are original and their over mantle mirrors came from Gumps and are of various "revival" styles popular in the victorian period: Renaissance (living room), French Rococo (master bedroom) and Egyptian (piano room). The twin Gothic Revival bookcases in the library are almost 11 feet tall and are part of a set of 6 salvaged from St.Rose, a 1891 Richmond district catholic convent demolished in 1984 (and replaced with an above-ground concrete nuclear shelter for the little sisters). All the furnishings, paintings and gas lighting fixtures (most of them now electrified) are also of the period, and except for the lighting fixtures, most of them are of local origin. The kitchen and 2 main bedrooms are not available for viewing at this time, but they will be in the near future. . |
