Detail of book/dish cabinets on either side of the partition between second parlor and dining room. Note the craftsman-style motif. This would be a later addition from the original 1899 home.

The dining room. The molding above the windows is newer and later than the bullseye block molding of the original house.

Situated among several beautifully restored Victorian-style homes, the house has several architectural details, some not so common, ready to be showcased.
