A Stairway for Domestic Servants

A Stairway for Domestic Servants
This photograph of the interior of the restored James Farnan Italianate mansion reveals the quality workmanship of the staircase built for the domestic help. In the late nineteenth century, the Farnan family employed a number of domestic servants. One of those was Ida King. In 1901, Ida married Thomas A. Masterson, who purchased the James Farnan mansion in 1917 and moved it to its current location. It must have been a sweet homecoming for Ida. | Creator: Jim Dubelko
