Tour stop 3: 910 Russell St.

Historic decor with touches of fun:

Walk through the original iron fence and enter a home that has been lovingly brought back to its original glory. Ceiling moldings, historically accurate wall colors and reproduction wallpaper and lighting create a charming setting in the front rooms. The back rooms are a bit more modern with witty touches that reflect the owners’ interests. Explore the bedrooms and turret room and walk out through the lovely garden. 

Extras:

These additional points of interest will be fun to reference during the tour.

Living room: Look up at the lovely decorative plaster detailing on the ceiling. Surprise! It is actually made of polyurethane, hand painted and installed by the home’s current owner.

Kitchen: You can see a wall safe in the kitchen, which is one of 3 in the home. The oldest is dated 1876.

Family room: This room was added to the house in 1920. The see-through shelves in the kitchen were once a window in the house’s original back wall.

2nd floor: Most of the spindles on the staircase are original, but a few were damaged and had to be replaced.

Stained glass window: This is not original. It was made by Kaleidoscope in Covington.

Master bedroom: The tile in the fireplace’s hearth is Rookwood.

Turret room: The turret was not original to the home. It was added in 1890.

Before photos: The owners were unfortunately not able to find any photos from before they bought it.
