A
somber granite exterior encloses a fully paneled interior. The living hall
is embellished with oak wainscoting and quarter-sawn oak parquet floors.
Spanning the entry vestibule is a large oak lintel into which is carved an egg-and-dart frieze. The frieze also appears on the fireplace frame, echoed in both metal and wood. The oak chimney piece is supported by Ionic capitals and colonnettes. The newel of the main stair echoes in oak the foliate pattern of the carved granite cushion capitals of the porch. In what is now the rear hall, the ceilings are ornamented with plaster-work tracery, floral pendants and pargework plants and animals. The stained and leaded glass windows of the stair landing and some of the beveled leaded glass transoms are intact. |
