There are 14 rooms, including eight bedrooms.  The total square footage of the 3 floors is 5,763. WHS is refurbishing the house to evoke a Victorian style of decorating (representing its origins as the Kneeland house), while allowing the rooms to be used for modern-day purposes. The kitchen, however, represents the Walker years.

Woodwork
The elegant front doors are original.  The house contains all of the original woodwork (although it was dark until the 1950s), as well as three sets of oak pocket doors.  The brass hardware throughout the house is original.

Wall and Ceiling Coverings
The designs in the Music Room, Board Room, and ceilings of Grand Hallway and second floor hallway are reproductions of papers from the Brillion collection, from a treasure trove of antique wall and ceiling coverings discovered in an abandoned Brillion, Wisconsin, drugstore 40 years ago.

Wall coverings and window treatments on first floor were carefully chosen by a committee of dedicated volunteers, who faithfully researched the era.

The layered look of many papers, friezes, and borders is typical of elegant homes of the late 1800s.  The papers are not actually layered, but are carefully charted for the space.

The border at the top of the Parlor wall and the bottom of the Dining Room wall is anaglypta; this is a neutral molded paper that can be painted as desired. 

Carpets
The parlor carpet is an Axminster carpet, from Devon, England, specially chosen not only for its appropriate look, but also for its prolonged life and resistance to wear. The bordered stairway runner uses two Axminster carpets. In the Dining Room, the Kirman rug by Karastan was specially tea-washed to obtain the heirloom hue.

Chandeliers & Sconces
Most of the chandeliers and sconces in the house were designed and created specifically for these spaces by Brass Light Gallery.

Elevator
The elevator services three of the four floors in the house- the basement, first floor, and second floor.  It was installed in the 1940s when Mr. Walker’s first wife was ill.

Kitchen
In 1947, the Walkers remodeled the kitchen into the state-of-the-art "St. Charles" kitchen. Conveniences, such as the built-in dishwasher, were considered quite modern then. Red and yellow was a popular color scheme in post-World War II. Window blinds and curtains, table, and the Farbo Marmoleum flooring, also reflect 1947.

Bathrooms
There are seven bathrooms on the property. Six are in the house (basement, first floor, third floor, and three on second floor) and one is in the chicken coop.

Exterior Paint Colors
The exterior was repainted in the original jewel-tone colors in 1994, and again in 2009. The WHS undertook an extensive paint analysis to determine the original colors.  Community Development Block Grants financed much of the work.
