Brimming with the complex layering of patterns popular in the late 19th century, the interior of this Columbia County Italianate is a feast for the eyes for lovers of that era of design history. Lovingly restored by its owners, the house is a canvas for the major style movements of the 1870s and 1880s.
A backstory was created for the 1870s dwelling with the imagined owners experiencing the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition and a Grand Tour with an itinerary that included England and Italy. Those travels introduced them to the Aesthetic Movement and influenced their collecting of porcelain, plaques, and other decorative souveneirs.
