Another complete great fireplace. Look at the tile on the floor. Looks to be stenciled and not carved. Probably $8K-10K on the market.

Incredibly beautiful. I imagine that nicely set off the office when it was in it's prime. I can picture those hardwood floors all shined up... The trim awould the kickboards and doors was probably unpainted and stained....wow...

The black laquer finish is called japaning, it must have been a beautiful sight against that wood floor when it was new, It is in such amazingly good condition still, i just hope somebody preserves this one.

there was really no warden, there was the sherriff of hampden county who ran the jail but did not stay in the "sherriffs house".
They used this place for work release and day reporting inmaes.
