Views of the Lake Mansion
Front Parlor

On the left of the entry is the double parlor. This room was considered the women's room. It was always kept ready for Sunday family gatherings and entertainment of guests. Jane Lake did not always follow the fashions. Contrary to the times, she chose to paint the walls of her home and install wall-to-wall carpeting. Hanging on the walls are oil portraits of Myron and Jane Lake, painted by Cyrinus B. McClellan, a noted Virginia City painter.
