You can almost hear
the call to be seated for dinner. A veritable Victorian fantasy,
this room displays beautiful furniture, china, silver, crystal
and even needlework. A silver cruet buried in the yard during
the Civil War and found around the turn of the 20th century as
well as flatware made especially for the Brooks family from
silver dollars and engraved with RPB, are among the many
fascinating items in this room.
A Victorian Parlor features two
love seats and two American Empire straight chairs. Faberge
porcelain of the Russian Empress Alexandria is displayed along
with dolls of German bisque, a Mother of Pearl fan, a brass and
marble drop leaf table, and many other beautiful items.
