Woodside House, Front Hall Entrance

The Entrance Hall pays homage to Thomas Day, a successful free black cabinetmaker and woodworker who operated a shop in nearby Milton during the time of the home's construction. All of the molding in the home is attributed to Day, most notably and spectacularly the carved mahogany stair rail in the entrance hall and the beautiful fireplace mantles throughout the house. As a tribute to Day, reproduction pieces from Craftique's Thomas Day Collection appear in several rooms, including the magnificent mahogany sideboard in the entrance hall.
