Corbett Suite
(1st Floor)
This suite was originally Jane Hull's playroom where she and her little friends engaged in fanciful and creative amusements while close friends and family relaxed in the adjoining sitting room. Today, this first floor suite includes a bed chamber with an American white iron queen-sized bed, original built-in cabinets with comfortable window seat. The adjoining sitting room includes original arts and crafts style moldings and trims, and features a Louis XVI Revival sofa and armchair, and heirloom rug. Private bath with shower.
The suite takes its name from Bertha Corbett, affectionately called "The Mother of the Sunbonnet Babies." At the turn-of-the-century, Sunbonnet Babies were very popular, and were featured in children's reading primers, on china, postcards, and other items of the days. During the restoration project a workman discovered part of an original Sunbonnet mural behind a tall cabinet in the playroom. By carefully scratching paint off the wall they found the original outline, traced it, and after eight weeks of painting were able to meticulously recreate the mural.

Votruba Chamber
(2nd Floor)
Part of the original master suite, originally Mrs. Hull's bedroom, this bed chamber features an 1880 Kingwood Napolean III full-sized bed with heavily carved floral crest, an elegant Victorian armoire, loveseat and chair. Also included is a private bath with oversized shower.
Of particular interest is a discovery that was made during the restoration. After removing 5 layers of wallpaper, the original plaster revealed caricatures created by the original painters and paper hangers, autographed and dated 1908. This unique feature has been carefully sealed and remains as a tribute to the artisans that created the home.
