Some of the key features original to the home include: Wood Floors, Bubble Glass Windows, Long Claw foot Tub, Window & Door Casings, and Baseboards, 7 Fireplaces, and Mantles (with exception to the dining room mantle), the Original 9 Ft' Entry Door to the Home with Skeleton Key and Victorian Bell Door Ringer; and in the Attic, a suspended 3x10 Water Trough formerly filled by a mule-driven pump which drew water from across the street and created water pressure to the house, the remains of this innovative luxury (for that era) area still in tact.
