A "Fancy" Room

To the left of the entryway, is the "Fancy" or Best room.  This would have been used as a parlor, dining, or gathering room.  It is where the homeowners would have greeted and entertained their guests. We plan to use this as the dining room.

The original wainscoting is amazing.  We will restore the missing wood trim as closely as possible and clean the painted walls.

Below, a picture from 2011. A bit blurry, but you can see the floor was completely deteriorated.

Below November 2012. A new sub floor.  And original window sashes are repaired and fit back into each window.

Below Spring 2014.  Original windows glazed and installed.

Work continues. . .
