Some of the Many Notable Details
Exotic Wood, exquisite light fixtures, ornate detailing and stained glass windows throughout the manision are some of the many special aspects that make this home architecturally unique.
Over a three-year period when the house was built, artisans had been brought from Italy to carve columns and capitals, wreaths and crests, egg-and-dart crown moulding, dentils and wainscoting. Wood species include walnut, exotic African mahogany, rare curly maple, cherry, three types of oak, and (now-extinct) curly pine.
The carved walnut staircase leads past the "musician's gallery", a stained glass, fishscale demilune dome that projects music in perfect acoustic precision throughout the mansion.
The current owners restored the five foot tall chandelier that once hung in The Chase Park Plaza, polishing and restringing the crystals.
Sconces similar to the ones in the parlor, have previously sold and are currently valued between $50,000 and $75,000 for a pair.
A medieval style ballroom spans the full length of the basement and provides ample entertaining or recreational space.
The many bathrooms each have stained glass windows made to match the decorative tile.
