Paddock Mansion - The Front Parlor

The Front Parlor, on the first floor, of the Paddock Mansion. Here you see the hand-carved antique Victorian settee, chair and covered stool. In the corner is a vintage folding screen. A walnut table is in the center of the room. An antique lamp with hanging crystals is on the small table next to the sette. A vintage floor lamp is behind the settee. The fireplace, with the decorative screen in front of it, has a gilt framed portrait above it. The retractable interior wood shutters on the tall windows slide out of sight into the woodwork frame of the windows. The Front Parlor was also referred to as the Music Room - you can see the corner of the vintage piano next to the chair. This room was for entertaining the Paddock's visitors. Both parlors have been restored to their high Victorian appearance complete with fiunishings and knickknacks. The Paddock Mansion / Museum belongs to the Jefferson County Historical Society. Located at 228 Washington Street in Watertown, NY. (172)
