Parlor 

 The French-inspired parlor with its pink damask draperies and elaborate gilt furniture was the scene for many formal events in the house, including the marriage of Mamie Louise McFaddin to Carroll Ward in 1919. This room, almost completely unchanged for seventy-five years, required serious conservation work during the museum's restoration in 1984-85. The walls and ceiling are canvas, with delicate trailing vines of hand-painted roses on them. The cleaning of these surfaces was ultimately accomplished by the use of rubber erasers as years of dirt and grime were meticulously removed inch-by-inch.

Robert Mitchell Furniture Parlor Suite

Suites such as the McFaddins had in their parlor were extremely fashionable during the nineteenth century and were upholstered in a variety of different materials based on price. The three Robert Mitchell pieces from Cincinnati, Ohio are examples of several in the collection that can be attributed to the company. The suite was bought by the McFaddins before they moved into the house and includes a settee, ladies’ chair, and armchair.
