Return of the Parlor
We are very proud to announce the basic restoration of the formal Parlor of the Elmwood Mansion located at the Marbold Farmstead. This room is located in the southeast corner of the main house, just to the right upon entering the front door. While final work on electrical fixtures, ceiling moldings, flooring, decoration, and an entry door remain, the basic structural masonry, drywall, and primer painting are complete.
