Heirlooms, rare antiques and period furnishings keynote the spacious rooms where the high ceilings and walls of white are sharply contrasted with the dark woodwork. An early Victorian medallion-back sofa and occasional chairs create a hospitable air and a seating arrangement in the large living room. Among the tables in the room is an empire marble top. A tapestry imported from Europe hangs above the mantel, and a crystal chandelier lends illumination. In its own niche, a Grandfather clock made in 1812, is a focal point with hand-painted porcelain face accenting the timepiece from London, England.
Victorian furnishings emphasize the background in the bedrooms.
A canopy top bed and hard-carved dressers, topped with beveled mirrors, are noted in the master bedroom. Baths in white and soft pastel tile adjoin the rooms, and a wide hallway lends access to all entrances. Numerous china cabinets are laden with heirloom china, silver bisque and glassware in the dining area and a federal cabinet just outside in the hall holds additional varieties. Queen Anne chairs and an oversize banquet table from one of the old homes in New Orleans lend elegance to the dining area where plate rails and treasured silver are added eclats. Sun streams in the windows of the glassed in solarium where groupings of cushioned chairs and tables have an invitational atmosphere.
