Tia's Description
by
Libby
on Tue 01 Jun 2004 11:03 PM PDT
Built in 1856-7; 4 tall chimneys at each end of the house with fireplaces upstairs and down. High ceiling room, 20 ft square, immense doors and windows (for that time, I guess), little balcony onto which the upstairs hall opened. It took 3 or 4 carpenters 18 months to build, and Adolph Jung, a Bastrop mason built the chimneys. The lumber was Bastrop pine dressed and tong{ue} and grooved by hand.
Parlor had great square Steinway pianeo, thick plush carpet strewn with great roses and clusters of flowers from NY.; beautiful opaque window shades with hand-painted scenes of Venice, the Pyrennes and the Alps; carved rosewood furniture upholstered in horsehair; brass and iron and -fender below the mantle,; above the mantle "Sarah McGhee Hill"- painted by a great portrait painter of that time. more »
