Photograph of the Parlor at the Weaver Home

This photograph depicts the parlor of the Weaver family during the early 1900's. The room reveals a late Victorian interior, complete with with many of the details associated with the period. The mantel is draped with a heavily patterned cover. Victorian interor decoration was keynoted by eclecticism, and use of multiple patterns and colors in the same room. No space was left unfilled. Drapery was everywhere, to prevent the fading of carpets and wallpapers. Strong colors such as deep red, blue and purple were used with abandon. Knick-knacks, family pictures, and other objects covered every surface.

The Buttles-Pinney-Brown House, a five-bay Federal brick house, is located at 12 East Stafford Avenue. Built in 1818 by Arora Buttles, its early owners were prominent community leaders. Rufus and Kate Jones Weaver family occupied the house from shortly after their marriage until Mrs. Weaver's death. The house was previously occupied by Rufus Weaver's grandparents Sidney and Anna Hart Brown, parents of Cynthia Brown Weaver.

The house is presently occupied by the High Road Gallery, which exclusively exhibits the work of Central Ohio artists.
