Image
Living room with fireplace and needlepoint chair in the Elliott & Jennie Kiser house on Old Middleton Road near Heim Avenue, built in 1860 by Joseph Heim. The walls are painted Williamsburg green. At the windows are handwoven basket-weave curtains made especially for the Kisers in Virginia. The Persian copper and brass lamps on the mantel were sent from London by Kiser during the war. A reproduction of the painting by Georges Seurat "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte" is above the fireplace.
