Children’s Room

In the room, there is a striking 6-foot square rope bed that dominates the space. It is a family piece that dates back to the mid-19th century and was originally designed to accommodate multiple children. In 1940, the original mantle and hearth were removed and replaced with storage closets.

Marjorie Johnston, the last Mrs. Johnston to live in the house, used a screened indoor-outdoor crib for her daughter Mary Jane. Sadly, Mary Jane passed away at the age of three, and some of her clothes can still be seen in the closet.

Moreover, the room boasts a small walnut Victoria washstand and a pedestal-style dresser covered with burled walnut veneer. The dresser stands where the original hearth was located.
