In 2002 the Chandler family repainted the house with yellow, green, and purple using the colors of the stained glass for inspiration.

This picture of the front entry was taken in preparation for the 2000 Friendship House Tour. It shows the original golden oak color of the floors and the unpainted wood work with its age patina.

Here is a detail picture of the foyer scroll and the arch it supports. This picture is an excellent example of the original color of the woodwork that survived 40 years of renters.

Looking down from the landing to the foyer in this picture, we can again see the original floor color and the unpainted interior front door. 

In the house's original layout, the front room was the parlor or living room. It is now the house's dining room. In this picture, we can see the unpainted fireplace mantel, an antique light fixture, and detail work around the top of the walls. 

The house's current mantel is not its original mantel. The original was stolen on the day of the house's sale closing in 1999. The current one is a replacement that fit perfectly.

Another picture of the living room and how it appeared for the 2000 Friendship House Tour. 

This room was originally the house's study. Today it is an office. The wall and fireplace on the left of the picture are covered up by large built in cabinets.

The formal dining room of the house. This room is now the living room, a common swap of rooms in larger American four square homes. 

Notice the lattice glass in the unpainted built in cabinets. 

The formal dining room of the house as it appeared for the 2000 Friendship House Tour. 

Notice another antique light fixture and the unpainted beams in the ceiling.

The eating nook or everyday dining room of the house. The woodwork in this room was painted by a previous rental era landlord. 

Notice the detailing at the top of the original windows and the use of the plate rail.

Here is the Chandler family getting ready in the morning. We can see where a wall was put in to accommodate the second staircase. The wall had a small alcove for a coffee bar with a sink that came out of the 2nd floor rear bedroom.

The wall with the calendar, at the left of the picture, on it would have originally been a staircase down the the side door and then into the basement following the turn of the staircase above it.

The original layout of the house's kitchen is not known, but the Chandler family restored it to a modern kitchen. 

While we cannot see it, the original tin ceiling has been stripped, cleaned, and repaired in the kicthen. A small toekick radiator replaces the large cast iron radiaor that would have been under the kitchen window. It was removed during its years as a rental.

The master drawing room on the second floor. It is not known if this room was always attached to the master bedroom or if its little walkway was created during the rental years to combine both rooms into one unit. 

This is the third floor loft space. The wall opening was closed off by a family after the Chandlers and the room turned into a dressing room. 

As part of the renovations of this room, Mike and John plan to put in an antique stained glass pane into the wall where the opening was to allow a flow of light between the two spaces.

One of the children's rooms on the third floor. The Chandler kids were allowed and encouraged to paint their walls with murals and motifs. This room was painted in the "Under the Sea" style. 

The poster for the 2000 Friendship House Tour. This house was a star of the tour, showing off what was possible by turning a rental property back into a single family house.

Notice the house front and center on the poster.
