room ceiling and the top of the dining room
fireplace. You can see the stenciled ceiling at
the top of the photo. There is also a grid of woodwork that
extends across the ceiling dividing it into squares. See
it reflected in the mirror? Wide cove molding extends
around the room and paneling covers the bottom half of
all walls. |

| This is the same
fireplace taken over a year later. The stained glass
windows are reflected in the mirror. Notice that the
dark wallpaper has been removed on the right. We were able to
save it even though we had to scrub it with bleach to kill the
mold on the back. The
paper on the fireplace's left, painted white, is
actually multiple layers pressed together in an embossed
floral pattern. (Photo on right) It was
painted originally so we are just repainting it. It was going
to be peach, but I rather like the crisp white. |

1st-floor entrance to the 4-story dumb waiter is in the adjacent butler's pantry. According to Dr. Cassidy's great granddaughter,
patients were kept in the house before the local hospital was
built. The dumb waiter was probably used to transport food,
medicine and linens. It would be a huge asset in a bed
and breakfast, but to keep it we have to figure out how to
keep a fire from using it to travel from floor to floor. |
