The original home was built in 1903 by King Dan and Francis Thompson. K. Dan was a successful salesman for the Heinz Company in Texas. Francis was a gifted artist and possessed a special talent for writing. Throughout her life, Francis continued painting. It is estimated that her paintings number more than 500 and can be found throughout the country.
| Tour of the Home | |
|
In the entry of the main house, you will see the first of three fireplaces with original wood, tile and mirrors. One is still a wood burning fireplace and the other two have been converted to gas. Also in the entry, there is a lovely grandfather clock that was handmade by the owner, Jay Lindell. |
The parlor houses the 60+ year old baby grand piano. You may also view the Windberg and Dyke paintings that hang on the walls. In this room, you can enjoy music from the stereo as you sit in Queen Anne chairs in front of the fireplace. |
|
The great dining room can seat up to ten people. Judy uses special china for Saturday breakfast and a completely different china set for Sunday! You will feel so pampered. The curio cabinet displays Norman Rockwell plates from the depression era. The walls are decorated with rubbings from England as well as more Windberg and Dyke paintings. |
This room displays the third fireplace. You will see Windberg and Dyke farm paintings, along with a picture of Judy's grandmother. The room is decorated with various antique furniture to further add to your comfort and pleasure. |
 |
Entering by the garden gate, you will find a country style back porch complete with rocking chairs. Picture yourself in a rocking chair sipping homemade lemonade. Refreshing!
No visit would be complete without stopping for a quiet moment in the gazebo. Located in the center of the back gardens, the gazebo is a charming place to read, have a conversation, or enjoy the evening air. |
|
Relax... in a rocking chair on the wide porch with a cup of coffee from the country breakfast. |
