We've added a new piece of original furniture to the house collection - Mrs. Elsie Allen's sofa!

It was shipped to us by an Allen family member in Chicago and has been installed under the south-facing windows, or light screens, in Elsie's Day Room on the second floor of Allen House.

It is not FLW designed, nor a George Niedecken. Our Executive Director has some ideas, but more research needs to be done. It has been re-upholstered at least once and we hope to determine what the original fabric/color was soon. It was cut into half at one point by the family, but it is now complete again in its original home!

Be sure to look out for this new addition, along with over 40 other pieces of original furniture, on your next Allen House guided tour!
