Inside the Mary Todd Lincoln House

[Amy L.]

I like the custom-made 3D-looking wallpaper in the house. (A lot of research, discovery, care and money to recreate.)
I also found interesting, if I remember correctly – The dining room floor has been recreated from clues. (Which clues from where? Family notes? Pattern-books from the time?) The floor and its neat pattern are made from natural linoleum. It seems like such a modern, unnatural material, but… Decorative, easy to clean. I can imagine guests being impressed by such modernity.
