Italian marble enhances the beauty of the interior and exterior, including three types of marble on the front porch alone. Marble slabs, 8” thick and 18” deep, were used on the windows, both on the sills and the lintels, even on the lower level windows. The exterior brick of the house was imported from Venice, Italy. The home has been visited by many famous guests including the President Teddy Roosevelt in 1908 and his nephew, President Franklin D.
