This grand circa 1900 limestone and brick dwelling is loaded with lush features including elegant ornamental plaster and woodwork, along with modern updates. The house has a rich historical depth paired with contemporary living.
Owner and builder John A. Bliss filed plans for a stretch of houses on 6th Street near the park in 1900, with A. E. White listed as the architect. Bliss was advertising the finished houses in early 1901 as 'The Bliss Model Houses' with 'all improvements,' highlighting the luxurious aesthetics and practical amenities that were groundbreaking for the time.
The renovated kitchen along with a family room and full bath are on the garden level while the main level has triple parlors and the butler's pantry. This layout emphasizes the blend of historical character with modern convenience, catering to contemporary family needs in a classic environment.
The fine details begin in the entry with plasterwork, a mirror, wainscoting, and a wood floor with inlaid border. Features like the scenic wallpaper by Zuber indicate a commitment to maintaining the historical integrity while offering a stylish, inviting atmosphere in the home.
