House Tour: Plenty of room for family in McFarland home :

This article was submitted by the Women’s Fellowship of Greencastle First Christian Church, who also selected the homes to be featured on the tour. A home for a large family -- a main floor including living room, dining room, three bedrooms, two baths and a full basement consisting of a family room with fireplace, a long, spacious recreation room, fourth bedroom and three large storage rooms - all just one mile from downtown, DePauw University campus and Gobin Methodist Church. “Yes,” said Mr. and Mrs. John McFarland, “this house at 104 DePauw Avenue is definitely for us! ” THAT WAS IN 1970, but by 1977, Mrs. McFarland had realized that they needed a more spacious area for entertaining. They solved this problem by adding 12 feet along the 40-foot rear of the house, extending the kitchen into a family room and enlarging the living room and dining room. Today the McFarlands have the perfect setting for entertaining with ease and comfort. Their home will be open to the public on June 6 from 1-5 p.m. on the C.W.F. House Tour. The Colonial ivory walls of the beige-carpeted living rodm feature paintings by three local

artists, Barbara Buckelew, Barbara Poor, and Myra Schuetter, as well as a framed photograph of Gronigan, Holland, taken during their seven-month sabbatical in the Netherlands. The autumn scene painted by Mrs. Poor reflects the colors used in the furnishing of this room. Of special interest is the beautiful Steinway grand piano used by Mrs. McFarland in her musical pursuits. A sliding-doored cabinet designed by Mrs. McFarland, holds musical arrangements and sheet music and is placed along one wall. A red-brick fireplace and built-in corner log bin were added during the expansion. A maple secretary, a humpback trunk in black and gold, a Richard Peeler lamp and a 100-year-old honey jar given to them by Mrs. McFarland’s father can also be viewed in this room.

carpeted in beige, has a slightly-darker-than-Colonial ivory chair rail with an unusual peacock-patterned wallpaper in autumn colors. Between the two archways connecting the dining room and living room, stands an antique cherry cupboard with the original wavy-glass-paned doors which is over 100 years old. A Victorian walnut table being used as a serving piece holds a Krontjes coffee pot with cream and sugar -- a set that was handcast in aluminum then painted black with gold design that the McFarlands purchased during their stay in the Netherlands. The maple dining room suite stands in the center of the room while a pine chest with custommade wooden mirror stands nearby. The lighting in this room is provided by small glass-domed wall fixtures. French doors may be closed to seal this area from the kitchen.

The kitchen-family room is done in light panelling with gold tweed carpeting and has sliding glass doors leading to the patio. A Swiss Cuckoo clock adorns one wall. A dry sink taken from a Pennsylvania Dutch home in Lancaster, Pa., and then refinished by Mrs. McFarland, stands next to the door leading to the utility room, a half bath, garage and access to the attic. The three bedrooms, one of which is also being used as a study, have several old pieces that will be of interest -- a steam trunk, a three-drawer walnut wash stand with splashboard, and a three-drawer walnut chest with two small drawers on top. Two baths, one in blue, red and gold, the other in autumn tones, are also in this area. A RED-CARPETED STAIRWAY leads to the full basement. The family room has a fireplace and built-in bookcases. Sitting

in front of the fireplace and bookcases are four pairs of wooden shoes in varying sizes, also from the family’s stay in the Netherlands. The walls feature a matchstick hanging, three red-framed paintings reminiscent of early Greencastle around the DePauw University campus, a student painting of the French Quarter in New Orleans, and a picture of Martinni Church - the most famous landmark in Gronigon, Holland. An oak library table with Queen Anne legs is beside the fireplace. The recreation room has a ping-pong table, card tables and chairs, and stereo equipment. A geometric design string art in gold and silver on black velvet hangs on the wall. The panelled bedroom with blue carpeting has a triple, cedar-lined closet. The storage* rooms complete this floor. Mr. and Mrs. McFarland arevery happy with the changes that they have made to their home. Mrs. McFarland says, “We love our home and feel that our pie-shaped lot is a special piece of God’s Earth.” The McFarlands’ home is one of seven featured on this year’s Tour. Tickets are available at $2.00 each and may be purchased from C.W.F. members, the First Christian Church office and the Commercial Hotel.
