Pratt-Campbell Mansion Interior View; Wichita, KS
This rare interior photo of the Pratt Campbell Mansion on North Emporia in Wichita, KS shows upscale Victorian styling. A gas chandelier hangs in the staircase. An ornate central staircase of the finest wood with carved newel posts leads to a large landing. Sternberg was known for incorporating staircase designs that gracefully flared outward towards the bottom and he used this style in both interior and exterior staircases. Portieres drape and puddle on the parquet floors. This grand Victorian residence was designed & built by William Henry Sternberg (1832-1906) who was known for hand-selecting the only the highest quality, clearest woods for interior and exterior use. Especially for a lumber baron such as George Pratt, the selection of wood in this Victorian Mansion would have been only the "best of the best".
