The West Parlor is one of the most interesting rooms in the Mansion. The window cornices are relics of the days when George Washington lived here. Note also the panelled walls, the decorated ceiling and door frames. Most impressive is the fine mantel with the coat of arms of the Washinton family in the pediment above it. The Washington crest and the initials "GW" are cast in the iron fireback of the fireplace.

Pig Iron
The process of making pig iron was labor intensive and very involved. An iron founder needed to own at least four square miles of timberland, to be used to produce the charcoal needed to fuel the blast furnace. Convenient sources of limestone and iron ore were a plus. Pig iron was used in casting items like firebacks, Franklin stoves and even cannon.
Cast iron combination fireplace in the back room. This one will be for decoration only (the fireback is cracked so we can't use it) and we need to block up the chimney to prevent draughts.
Unusually for the period, this fireplace exhibits a cast-iron fireback, dated 1783. The free-standing log basket and fender appears to be a little later in date, say 1800 Regency.

Christ and the woman of Samaria
Christ, with his disciples standing behind him, is seen talking to a Samarian woman at Jacob’s Well on his travels from Judaea to Galilee. (St John, chapter 4.) Note the gaps at the sides of the fireback for slotting into a stove or grate.
