South Parlor
All the furniture in this parlor is on loan. The piano is on loan, but the Millikins did own a piano of this type.
The shutters in this room, as in the rest of the house, are copies of the originals and were reproduced when the house was restored in 1976 at a cost of $18,000, which was the same amount it cost to build the house in 1875.
The patterned carpeting is appropriate to the age and style of the house.
The Millikins traveled abroad extensively, purchasing art as they went.
The painting on the west wall (see right) is the newly-reframed and rehung 19th century copy of Murillo's "Beggar Boys Playing Dice" which Mrs. Millikin re-titled, "Beggar Boys with Melons." The original hangs in a museum in Munich.
