| The formal front parlor here is a room that retains its original fireplace (see below) with excellent detail. Three windows in the bay light the room well with morning sun. This room has not been restored as of yet but, as you can see, it has the late 19th century feel to it. The wall to wall carpeting was removed and the hardwood floors underneath are in beautiful condition. |

| The problem with this room is that the wall with pocket doors that divided this room from the back parlor or library, has been removed. You can see on the floor where the wall came out and the patching of the floor where the wall was. The wall was mostly a wide doorway opening. In the attic when we first looked at the house were three pieces of fretwork that went somewhere in this house. Putting the three peices together, lying them on the floor, it is clear, this was the doorway the frettework belongs. There is no other doorway in the house long enough to support this. They other 3 wide doorways are off by a foot and a half. When the funding is right, this wall will be put back in, and both rooms will be papered, stenciled, and/or papered to go with the period. Below you can see the detailwork kind of put together. |
