~KEEPING THE SUN OUT OF PARLOUR~
The shades were pulled down as we toured the childhood HOME of President Dwight Eisenhower in Abilene. His mother did not allow her boys to play in this Parlour. With Bay Window to sit by while in this comfortable brown club chair, Ida must have been satisfied to enjoy the pretty room all to herself while her boys played outside. Some peace and quiet.
I would have sworn that this room use to have two brown club chairs but on our recent visit only one was visible. Since we're not suppose to swear, I failed to ask the tour guide if two were previously there in the past. As you enter the house, this Parlour is to the left of the door roped off as all do not enter rooms are.
While standing in the entryway, we could glance into the Parlour, up the stairs, Master Bedroom, and down the hall leading to the Family room and Dining room.
WELCOME to a Kansas Historical HOME,
I've been here three times and think I could live here if allowed.
So many years ago, I fell in love with the BROWN club chairs.
The house isn't overly large, but very comfortable.
Liked the floor plan.
Let's take the tour.
WHAT'S UP THERE?
We're not allowed to see.
More to see down the Hall.
May you have a blessed day,

It does look to be a very comfortable home. Many of the pieces of furniture are like the furnishings I remember in older relative's homes when I was a young thing.
