Its large walnut-trimmed Bedroom has a walk-in closet with its original oak chest of drawers, an original tile and handcarved-wood fireplace, a bay window (with window bench), and lovely antique appointments: oriental carpets, an armoire, upholstered armchairs, and a most elegant massive 19th century four-poster canopy bed purchased at the sale of furnishings from a Victorian Seattle Washington mansion. For the JAMES DEMPSEY GRAND SUITE a luxurious non-standard hand-crafted larger-than-queen-size medium-firm mattress was custom manufactured for this antique bed.

The art in the Sitting/Living Room includes several large Oriental handpainted-on-silk naturalistic ornithological studies, large period Chinese blue-and-white urns, and a large finely executed 18th century English portrait of an aristocratic gentleman contemporary with the Martha Washington portrait.
Ensuite to the sitting room is an ample Victorian bath, a clawfoot tub with shower enclosure, a porcelain pedestal sink, and a bank of stunning original built-in oak cabinets finely detailed in classical motifs. The bathroom has a marvelous recently-restored original parquet floor.
