The ceilings on the first floor are 12 feet 6 inches high. A spindle-work arch divides the front and back parlors. The windows in each parlor are octagon shaped and originally had heavy French plate glass. Each parlor is 25 x 35.
There is a button to push for the maid in the front parlor.
The front parlor originally had a fireplace made of California onyx and made in San Francisco.
It had at least 12 different shades of color in the mantle with a center bronze piece statue of Giotto.
The back parlor has a 7-foot verandah, which originally overlooked the orange orchard and commanded a good view of the valley.
The original walls in the parlors were light buff ingrain paper, with picture molding and a deep frieze, ceiling stiles, boarder
and corner pieces, gilt and iridescent frescoed centerpieces.
The back parlor mantle is of solid mahogany with French plate glass mirror.
