The Front room, just to the left of the foyer, is the formal parlor.The main stairway is L-shaped and leads to the three bedrooms on the second floor.The doorway from the parlorleads to the music room,which had been the family parlor.A small hallway leads from the music room to the dining room,which can also be accessed from the front foyer.The glass case in the hallway servesas a display for artifacts discovered during an archaeological dig performed and students from Oak Park Middle School shortly after the house was moved in 1990.A pantry fron the dining room leads to the kitchen,which has been modernized over the years.There is also a Bathroom off the music room.
Orginally,the second floor had three bedrooms,plus a nursery and servant's room to the rear of the home.The servant's room also had a back stairway that led to the kitchen and the first floor.The main bedroom had been the one on the west side of the house.The nursey could be reached from the main bedroom and the east bedroom.The second-floor study at the base of the tower,could also reach from the main bedroom and also the front bedroom.That study has been turned into a bathroom and the servant's room is now a nursery.
