Antiques and Art

The beginnings of this collection predate our purchase of the house in 2000. Soon after we met in 1988, we discovered our mutual appreciation for antiques, and when we purchased our first home together in 1991, we began collecting in earnest. Before the age of the internet, we were scouring local auction houses, antique shops, and tromping endless fields at outdoor antique shows. Soon, the emerging internet opened a virtual field for Victorian antiques, art, stained glass, and unusual pieces that caught our attention nationwide.

As our collection grew, so did the idea of creating a place for it — an historic house we could restore and furnish as a Victorian time capsule.

Every piece has ben carefully chosen and thoughtfully placed. Each carries with it not only it own history, but a piece of ours: the places we traveled, the discoveries we made, and the friends hips formed along the way.
