Stir up the Campbell's

 

The Campbell House Museum has been going through renovation and restoration since Robert Campbell bought it in 1854. Upon his years of living in the house Campbell:

• enlarged the back of the house for a larger kitchen, dining room, and more bedrooms
• combined the two front parlors into one large space
• added a three-story bay window on the east side
• added three extra rooms on the third floor
• enclosed the porch
• created the Morning Room

Campbell also bought the lot to the east of his property and added the carriage house and then a latticed summer house. During the summer months, I've seen them seting up tables, chairs and decorations as if there was going to be a wedding in the garden. If not a wedding some fancy event.

 

Brick wall of the Campbell House Museum

In the late 20th century a set of pictures, taken through­out the house in 1885, was founded. The pictures were then used for the restoration project, bringing the house back into the 19th century that includes original Campbell possessions such as furniture, fixtures, paintings, and objects.

On the outside. all of the facades are of finished and painted brick, except for the one facing west.

 

Is this why their STL250 cake is done with a brick pattern?
