Room History
This room was part of the 2nd phase of the restoration. The tall ceilings follow the roof line and give the room
a pleasant openness. The view out the back windows look out towards the old feed mill a block away.
The trim wood around the doors and windows was salvaged from a local house that was being torn down.
The cherry wardrobe was found in a basement under the stairs in Port Washington. No one would buy it
because it looked impossible to move without cutting it apart. Owner Brook looked beyond the layers of
paint and grim and discovered it was a "knock down". He bought it for $100 and surprised the sellers by
carrying it out of the basement piece by piece. The large corner whirlpool was brought in through the
back window by a lift during construction. The twin sleigh bed was from a friend and it matched the
original sleigh bed we had in the room for years. But at some point we had to face the fact that the
guests wanted a queen and so it was sold to a local friend and still resides in Cedarburg.
