THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Madison Fresh Thrills In Antique

Adventures Are. Waiting For Tri Kappa Toyrists S

By JEAN TABBERT ! THE MADISON tour of homes is turning into an annual

, pilgrimage. .

Sponsored by the Associate Chapter of Kappa Kappa Kappa Sorority in Madison, the trek will be held next F'ri-

day, Saturday and Sunday for the second consecutive time. It includes 14 of the most historic dwellings in Madison, cultural and artistic: houses that have been restored to their former. elegance. Living in them now are the descendants of the former owners or Madisonians who have bought the homes and cherish them like their own. These persons will open their homes to exhibit the priceless antiques and handsome decor within, Although antiquers will be intrigued with the display, enthusiasts of modern furniture will be just as delighted. Much of the old furniture is Hepplewhite, Sheraton, Biedermeier, all straight-lined pieces which will blend with modern units. Besides the Bach, Hoffstadt and Farley interiors illustrated, a capsule description of the 11 * others on the tour follows: SULLIVAN HOME — First two-story brick in Madison. Floors, woodwork and mantles are original, paint has been restored to former color. Authentic decoration. Basement kitchen. SHREWSBURY HOUSE—Designed by famous Baltimore architect Francis Costigan. Entrance door is 12 feet tall. Interior has 13 fireplaces, freestanding spiral staircase that rises three stories. Contains some of finest furnishings of 1948, all antiques. STORIE HOME --Masterpiece of design for a narrow lot. On a strip of land scarcely 22 feet wide, he achieved a drawing room 30 feet Jong with twin fireplaces. The house also has curved and sliding doors and an interesting double stairs.

SCHNAITTER HOME-—One-hundred-year-old brick = residence has original floors* and plaster, is filled with handsome antiques. : : MAJOR T. JESTER HOME — Illustrates how a new structure may be designed to include all modern conveniences and be consistent with community of classic homes. LANHAM HOME —- Original house was built before 1820, A later addition was built on higher ground that made it necessary to connect the new rooms to the old by putting in steps, three downstairs, four on the upper floor. MAYWOOD--The site is similar to that of Washington's Mount Vernon, commands a splendid view of the river. The doorway was built unusually wide to accommodate the hoopskirted ladies of early days. Rooms are decorated with antiques, yet they're designed with modern day. dimensions. CLIFF HOUSE — All the walls between the rooms are made of two layers of brick with an insulation space between. YUNKER HOME-—Excellent example of Victorian architecture. Built by lumberman who indulged his love of wood so much he gave each room a dif- : ferent trim. WESBECKER HOME- | Placed on the brow of a hill, the ground plan has wings in the shape of a letter 8. Thus it commands principal views of three river curves. WOOD HOUSE -— Shows the Influence of old Baltimote in its design, furnished with heir- | looms of 1850.

CO-CHAIRMAN—Mrs. Charles Rousch is co-chairman with Mrs. Robert Yunker of the Tri Kappa tour. Here she greets a

visitor in the doorway of the Yunker home. Mrs. Rousch was the

first chairman last year.
