The Rodenberg-Lane-Gundlach House was built in 1853 for John H. Rodenberg. He was a German-born feed dealer. He and his wife had 6 children, a maid, and a butler so they probably needed all 9,000 square feet that this home contains.
The walls are 18 inches of plastered brick and the ceilings are 14 feet!
I think my favorite thing is that beautiful color.
