The box on the wall at 6:40 in your video is an annunciator. there would be a buzzer (the ting that looks like a door bell) through out the families rooms in the house...if a servant was wanted a family member would press the button and the servant would know what room in the house that were needed in. Very cool that you still have it in your house...Good luck w/ your project!

[@SilkStockingAve]

Thank you! The only 'doorbell' connected to the annunciator that we've been able to find is in the "family chambers" (our master bedroom). We would like to put a light in there to act as a nightlight in the hallway, if we aren't able to restore it. Thank you for watching!

The house would have had a call system originally...but the one there now is not original. I put it up when I owned the house. I also had one in the kitchen.

We have many true stories about this house from our ownership. Light fixtures we added along with much of the hardware.

[@SilkStockingAve]

This is incredible! We have so many questions! We’ve been looking for any pictures or stories of the homes past!

The window at the main staircase would have had stained glass

[@scottgordon7697]

That window never had stained glass - it had a beveled edge.

[@bellebslife6504]

@scottgordon7697 Interesting. Usually, they have stained glass.

[@scottgordon7697]

@@bellebslife6504 We are former owners of the house - I thought the same. We were discussing that window with another former owner...and she filled us in. Originally, that window had hinges on it so it tilted outward... apparently, so larger furniture items could be hoisted up and onto the 2nd floor without the need to go up the inside staircase. Or so the rumor stated. Its actually a fairly thick piece of beveled glass. I think a stained glass window would have been nicer..but..I suppose the clear glass did allow a lot more light to go in.
