The furniture in this old Victorian home is original as is the structure so you will not see freshly painted walls and doors. But the docent was so interesting it truly transformed the home to a magical place. I kept imagining Downton Abbey. I was particularly impressed with the red Czarist rug from St Petersburg which hadn’t turned brown despite 100+ years.In addition, a lovely intricate wheat weaving is on display. DO NOT TOUCHA RUSSIAN verse caught my eye and the English translation touched my heart.
