Elm Court’s Grand Parlor

Clip Summary

Bob joins Sonya and Bob Berle, owners of Elm Court, for a tour of the ornate grand parlor. When the Berles arrived at Elm Court, the parlor was in severe disrepair, with all of the windows broken and the room exposed to the environment.

The Berles recreated the plasterwork with molds and epoxy from the original pieces left by the vandals. Some of the furniture in the parlor is original to the room and adds to the room's elegance. The centerpiece chaises longues were reupholstered but their bullion fringe is original. The fireplace is slowly being restored as additional stone pieces are found.
