"Delightful Details"                                             on Display at the Visitor Center

Not everything in the McFaddin-Ward House is large. In a proper household, attention to detail was as important as grand-scale architecture. Like all conscientious matrons, Ida McFaddin and her daughter, Mamie McFaddin Ward, insisted on perfection, making sure that everything in their home was “just so.”  The wondrous, small objects on display at the McFaddin-Ward House display case would have fulfilled such a requirement. Some of the household items are on public display for the first time. Free to look upon. 1906 Calder Avenue at Third Street, Beaumont. Until Christmas. The photo is of an Unger Brothers’ Art Nouveau sterling silver thimble case and accompanying stainless steel thimbles are on display at the visitor center until late November.  Photographer Michelle Cate.
