The outside of this home may be the first thing that grabs our attention, but it is the interior that really makes us appreciate the craftsmanship of historic homes. The Townley House’s stone fireplace is a perfect example. The symmetry of the stonework, the rich color of the brick, and the contrasting accent bricks come together to form a this beautiful piece of architecture. It’s easy to imagine the fireplace being just as much a conversation piece nearly one hundred years ago as it is today. Unlike the stonework in the fireplace, it’s the lack of symmetry of the stonework on the sun room floor that starts conversations. The original stone flooring of the sun room adds depth and texture to help create a warm, inviting atmosphere.
