Truly Thomas Mansion

 
 
One of the spaces of focus for furnishings is the library, also called the Gentleman's Hall. The The  dining space is accessed from the library through a short hall. The thin decorative ceiling brackets and inglenook pictured below are from the dining room. An inglenook was a popular attribute to Victorian-era homes. Similarly to a turkish corner, the inglenook provided a cozy fireplace alcove for sitting. The window in the inglenook was  probably framed by an upholstered bench. 

George Clifford Thomas was a devoutly religious man and this is marked by the stone tablet above the inglenook that reads the quote "Give us this day our daily bread, Want not, Waste not."

George Clifford Thomas served in the Army Air Service during World War I, attaining the rank of captain. "The Captain" remained his nickname for the rest of his life.
