| That is the Sears Colonial Stairway in the Lynnhaven. This illustration is from the Sears Building Materials catalog--you could buy the staircase without the house if you wanted. Thanks to researchers Judith Chabot and Catarina Bannier for noticing this detail. |

Wish they would have kept more of the wood natural but it is pretty.
Oh, what a tragic story. The tears that must have been shed inside that house. How sad.
But, the house is beautiful :)
I love the pale, creamy yellow. I don't like all shades of yellow, but that shade is a real favorite of mine, and I think that the Lynnhaven looks particularly lovely in it :) The interior is beautiful! And, now, THAT is the way to stage and photograph a house that is for sale. :) Thanks for sharing this beauty with us.

And, another cool thing about that colonial staircase, is that we saw the same one in the authenticated Torrington, in Annapolis, Maryland (blogged aobut at Kit House Hunters this week).

In many older homes, the wood wasn't meant to be kept natural. It was meant to be painted. I've seen so many people strip painted wood, only to reveal an incredibly hideous grain pattern that doesn't look good stained. I've noticed in the catalog picture, the wood is painted, other than the stairsteps and the bannister rail, and that's really how it was meant to be. There's no inherent crime in painting wood.
