The selling point - the Parlor

The Parlor



When I say its big. Just look at the couch. I can't even get the right side of the room with the pano on my phone. Its about 615 sqft. That's the size of some New York apartments or even one bedrooms in Cincinnati and this is our front "room". It is the most complete room in the house. It only get worse from here so let's start on the high note. The molding is molded plaster not wood. Amazing craftsmenship. Sadly the parquet floor was sold off years ago so we are debating about how to restore a wood look that is cost effective. The door on the right goes to a screened in porch. Oh and the ceilings, they are 11 feet. Measured them with a laser to confirm. #crazytall






Not a great picture and don't know if its original but it looks awesome in that room. They used to hold dances in this room back in the late 1870s.


Another shot of the mantle and seating area with a regular non pano shot. 


The room is so big it has 2 entry points in the hallway. The doors are crazy tall. 

Yup that is carpet right next to the fireplace. Good thing it doesn't work. God knows what is under the carpet that needs fixing. That's what an adventure is for. Buy the house with the mystery behind the curtain, er carpet. 

Really awesome curved moldings. Yes we are saving it all. 
 Plans:
Add ceiling recessed lighting
More outlets
Wood flooring
May change the paint color
Repair slight damage in the back corner
