Arguably one of the most carefully preserved post-Victorian mansions in America, every room, door, coal-stove, piece of furniture, hand carved balustrade in this jaw-drop home is more exquisite than the one you've just seen.
Take this century-old door, for instance: hammered pewter strike plates, business-like handles and latches, and four -- count 'em, four -- brass tumbler locks to keep the ghosts of Gottenburg in (?), or the disruptive influence of a prairie, pioneer America out.
You gotta see this place. So beautifully presented and curated; a priceless window into the westward expansion of our country, and some of the Swedish-American families who made it possible.
Today's ASI pays just tribute. Check it out.
