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 is the room on the right side after you enter 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.
