The house is ca 1911. It was built by William E Webb of the Webb
Insurance Company.

It is a two-story shingled Neo-Colonial style house. The house entails
hipped dormers on the third floor walk up attic, second story wall
covered with wood shingles, double door entrances to the den, side
entrance and living room, main entrance. One bay wide Doric porch, front
porch and side porch all with paired fluted columns frame the front of
the house. A brick piazza extends across the front of home and the house
also has a left side matching porte-cochere. This house is listed on the
National Register of Historic Places, Academy Hill District.

The house will contain no less then nine full size Christmas trees all
with there own individual themes. The four fireplace mantles will also
have their own themes with stocking hung waiting for Christmas Eve.
The house is owned by Sharon and Peter Molleur.

Walking up the front steps, this is the view of the entrance to the house.



This is the living room.  Note the beautiful millwork on the walls as well as the ceiling.  The combination of colors is very pleasing to the eye.



This is a shot of the living room from the den.



Another shot of the living room - showing the lovely mantle.  Again, the combination of paint colors is exceptional.

This photo shows the dining room as seen from the living room.



A closer look at the elegant dining room - this room adjoins the living room, and the color combinations here are in beautiful contrast to those of the living room.



And a closer look



This is a photo of the den, which also adjoins the living room.  I love the colors in this house.  They are bold, and blend together very nicely.



Another look at the den



And another - This shot looks out into the hall and the stairway.



The cozy breakfast room is between the dining room and the kitchen.  What a lovely place for two!



The kitchen cabinets pick up one of the colors from the dining room and tie it all together very well.



This picture was taken from the stairs looking into the living room.  The stairway is lovely, but not really necessary, as the house also has an elevator.



This is upstairs where again the color combinations of this bedroom are simply wonderful.



Peter also sent me some photos of the house at Christmastime.  I am going to reserve those, and see if I can talk him into doing a more extensive presentation in December.

My sincere thanks to Sharon and Peter for sharing their home with us.
