Description
A small portion of a hand carved three story spiraling staircase from a mid 1800's Italianate Villa located on Vance Street in Memphis, Tennessee.
During Memphis' early period of growth in the mid 1800s, a few wealthy Memphians built several grand Victorian-style homes in what was then the outskirts of the city.
While most of the original homes are now gone, several remain as museums, and some still as private residences, as is this 6,500 square foot Vance Street house.
Many interior sections of the currently unoccupied house remain unrestored, including this portion of the staircase. Well, it's not completely unoccupied; the house is quite haunted, but that aspect only adds to the unique charm of the old Southern Victorian mansion.
Thanks to Leah for her considerable input to the post work.
