Several Victorian wallpapers line the room. An ornate floral leaf pattern at the chandelier's base leads to a more graphic curvilinear pattern on the ceiling, while a Roccoco floral pattern is on the walls. The three-story wood frame building was built by August R. Meyer. It became the First Methodist Episcopal Church parsonage, then the home of Patrick A. and Ellen Healy Kelly. They transferred ownership to her brother Daniel Healy, whose cousin Nellie occupied the house and then donated it to the Leadville Historical Association. It was restored by the National Youth Administration and presented to the State Historical Society in 1947.Physical Description1 photonegative ; 6 x 6 cm (2 1/2 x 2 1/2 in.); 1 photoprint ; 15 x 12 cm (6 x 4 1/4 in.)Born-Digital or AnalogAnalogSubjectLeadville (Colo.)Chandeliers--1880-1920Dining rooms--1880-1920Museums--Colorado--LeadvilleInteriorsHealy House State Museum.Geographic AreaLeadville (Colo.)CollectionPhotographs - Western HistoryRelated MaterialImage File: ZZR710000282Type of MaterialFilm negativesPhotographic printsOriginal Material Found in CollectionWH1204.
