The Music Room, on the first floor, in the Rose Hill Mansion. This room features one of the first grand pianos ( front, right hand side) made in the U.S., built of solid mahogany covered with crotch grain veneer made by R. Nunns & Clark, NYC - c.1825. The fireplace has a black marble mantel. On the mantel are a pair of four branch candelabra of green marble with bronze dore' mounts. Also on the mantel are figurines of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Over the mantel is a portrait of Benjamin Swan (grandfather of Agnes Swan Hutchins) attributed to Samuel Lovett Waldo and William Jewett. The American Empire harp is rosewood with gilt made by Brown & Buckwell of NYC - c.1830. The stool is of heavily carved mahogany with lion's paws and acanthus leaves. The upholstery is the original haircloth in a geometric pattern. To the right of the fireplace is an Empire mahogany pier table. An 18th-century solid bronze Dutch chandelier hangs above an original Brussels floral geometric design carpet in brillant colors. Empire style gold silk draperies with molded fringe hang at the windows. Rose Hill Mansion is located on Route 96A in Geneva, NY.
Another shot of the Back Parlor, on the first floor, of the Paddock Mansion. Olive Paddock used this space as a Sitting Room to entertain her visitors. Parlors reflected the family's wealth, dignity and cultural development. The large piece of furniture against the back wall is the Paddock's etagere, which is much like todays "curio cabinet". It was regarded as a "museum" piece for the home. The use of decorative heavy draperies was considered fashionable during that time period. The antique carved wooden Victorian chairs are quite elegant and compliment the room perfectly. On the far right is the fireplace with a cabinet mantel. Notice the antique blue and white ceramic vase which sits upon a tall matching base. The lace curtained doorway to the right of the etagere once led to a glass conservatory which was torn down during the renovation which took place in the late 1920s. In written records these rooms (both parlors) were described as being "decorated profusely with rugs, gilt framed paintings, carved wooden chairs, knickknacks and other signs of the Victorian age". When first constructed, the room was richly wall-papered and had a contrasting frieze around the room and on the ceiling. Plasterwork was added in the 1890. The Paddock Mansion / Museum belongs to the Jefferson County Historical Society. Located at 228 Washington Street in Watertown, NY. (4)

In the Dining Room, on the first floor, at the Sonnenberg mansion which is at the Sonnenberg Gardens & Mansion State Historic Park. Shown in the photo is a close up of a vintage sideboard. Sonnenberg mansion was the summer home of Frederick Ferris and Mary Clark Thompson who were very generous to city of Canandaigua. Sonnenberg Gardens is located at 151 Charlotte Street in Canandaigua, NY.
Many things have changed along the busy Colac shopping strip that runs the length of Murray Street. Shops have come and gone, and each time the shop front it inhabits is redecorated. Yet if you look above a shop's awning, you will often find the original building's upper floors and parapets, still very much intact.
Brown and Holmes was a publishing business that traded in Colac from the late Nineteenth Century. By the Twentieth Century, Brown and Holmes was successful enough to build this impressive and stylish Art Nouveau building. Built of red brick, the Brown and Holmes building uses the material to great effect in a feature panel between the windows of the upper storey. The remaining facade has been stuccoed. However what is perhaps the most striking feature of this building are its stylish keyhole windows, which are most unusual and striking.
Located approximately 150 kilometres to the south-west of Melbourne, past Geelong is the small Western District city of Colac. The area was originally settled by Europeans in 1837 by pastoralist Hugh Murray. A small community sprung up on the southern shore of a large lake amid the volcanic plains. The community was proclaimed a town, Lake Colac, in 1848, named after the lake upon which it perches. The post office opened in 1848 as Lake Colac and was renamed Colac in 1854 when the city changed its name. The township grew over the years, its wealth generated by the booming grazing industries of the large estates of the Western District and the dairy industry that accompanied it. Colac has a long high street shopping precinct, several churches, botanic gardens, a Masonic hall and a smattering of large properties within its boundaries, showing the conspicuous wealth of the city. Today Colac is still a commercial centre for the agricultural district that surrounds it with a population of around 10,000 people. Although not strictly a tourist town, Colac has many beautiful surviving historical buildings or interest, tree lined streets. Colac is known as “the Gateway to the Otways” (a reference to the Otway Ranges and surrounding forest area that is located just to the south of the town).

This architectural drawing was prepared for Rev. Fr. Constans Fontaine by John W. Pender. The plan consists of the ground plan and first floor plan of the presbytery residence in Singleton. The tender notice was put out on the 20/11/1875, and constuction was contracted to Michael Southon and Thomas Ellis on the 13/12/1875. It is thought that the presbytery were completed during 1876.

This afternoon, I went into the basement to move a blanket from the washer to the dryer. (The blanket had to be washed after Elly was kind enough to barf on it.) As I was taking the blanket out of the washer, I saw something fly past me.
My first thought was, "Bird!" But I immediately knew that it was NO bird. I must of shrieked fairly loudly because Peter came running to the top of the stairs as I cowered under the wet blanket crying, "Bat! Bat! Bat!" over and over again. (To be clear, I am not afraid of bats. I am afraid of rabies. I've gone through the course of rabies shots before and I'd rather not have to go through it again.)
The bat must have been scared enough by me because it flew around the basement several times. I managed to get up the stairs--still covered in the blanket.
Then Peter and I tried to figure out how to catch it. By the time we were properly attired--hoodie sweatshirts and gloves--we could not find the bat anywhere.
We do not know if the bat is still in the basement. We know it's not upstairs because one of us guarded the top of the stairs after the bat was first spotted.
If the bat is still in the basement, we have to keep it there and hope it goes out the way it came in. But we also have to keep the cats out of the basement. A basement door would be convenient for this purpose, but alas, we have none.
Our makeshift bat-cat barrier is made of a baby gate, a plastic drop cloth, and painter's tape.
I hope the bat leaves soon.
The Library - Fountain Elms. In this section of the Library you see these two elegant mahogany chairs with an antique walking stick leaning against the one on the left. On the antique table near the window is a china tea service. Inside the mahogany glass front bookcase are many first edition books. The fireplace's marble mantel was restored in the 1960s. This room was returned to its original function as a library. The reproduction wallpaper, draperies and carpet present the appearance of a wealthy home of the mid-19th-century. Many of the Williams-Proctor family furnishings from the 1850s had been disposed of -- either as the result of changing styles during the house's years of occupation, or during the decades as an art museum - so high style antiques and vintage furniture were purchased from upstate NY houses to fill the interior. Now a little bit of info: Furnishings in Gothic and Classical styles were considered especially appropriate for libraries as were dark, serious colors. It was considered a luxury to be able to devote an entire separate room to reading and study. Located at 310 Genesee Street in Utica, NY. (133)
This opulent room, is the downstairs Bedroom in Fountain Elms. Houses in this Italianate Villa type style sometimes included a first floor bedroom in their designs. The elaborate marble mantel you see on the fireplace came from a house in Canandaigua, NY and was installed as part of the 1960 restoration along with the other mantels in the house. The elegant furnishings: the two velvet chairs, the silk covered mahogany chair, the vintage dresser, the bedside table, the canopied bed and the gilded frame mirror above the fireplace are all high-style antiques which were purchased from upstate NY houses to fill the interior of this room. Unfortuanately, many of the family furnishings from the 1850s had been disposed of either as the result of changing styles during the house's years of occupation by the family, or during its decades as an art museum. This room, as well as the other downstairs rooms, has been returned to its original function. With the reproduction wallcoverings, draperies and carpet, along with the addition of the antique furniture, the room now represents the appearance of a wealthy home of the mid-19th-century. Fountain Elms is part of the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute, 310 Genesee Street in Utica, NY. (FE/173)

Way too much red lighting to deal with here.
The Library is located on the first floor at Fountain Elms. It was a luxury to be able to devote an entire separate room to reading and study. Furnishings in Gothic and Classical styles were considered especially appropriate for libraries as were dark, serious colors. The leather bound volumes and classical sculptures in such a room were symbols of intellect and good taste. The antique bookcase in this room holds many volumes of vintage books. The elaborate marble fireplace mantle was restored during the 1960s restoration, along with the other mantels in the house. You will notice an antique walking stick leaning against one of the matching chairs. The wallcoverings, draperies and carpet in this room are reproductions. Fountain Elms is part of the Munson-Williams- Proctor Arts Institute, located at 310 Genesee Street in Utica, NY. (178)
