Virtual Tour

As there is no firm knowledge of how the Verandah House was furnished during the Civil War, the 2014 Historic Furnishings Plan recommends a generic interpretation of a middle-class, mid 19th-century interior as appropriate. Fully implementing this excellent plan will be a long-term and expensive project. This room-by-room Virtual Tour combines current conditions with findings and suggestions from the Historic Furnishings Plan, including descriptions of appropriate wall, floor, and window treatments, as well as an assessment of the furniture and lighting contained in the present house collection.

[A 2009 report by Howorth & Associates Architects, numbered the five spaces in the original portion of Verandah House 100 through 103. As the Historic Furnishings Plan suggests some changes in room use and designation, it therefore refers to the rooms by these same numbers and by their location within the house.]
