Adena Downstairs
Ohio History
Adena Dining Room
Can you imagine seating yourself as a guest in this fancy table? The other downstairs rooms were just as fancy! The ornately-papered parlor and comfy sitting room entertained important guests, and the master bedroom opened to the garden in the back. Mr. Worthington’s study was located in one wing and a large kitchen was in the other. This picture can hardly be compared to the simple Rankin dining room; in the corner there’s even a dumb waiter which rotates to be loaded with food from the kitchen!

Impressive! Hope you're going to show pix of the other rooms. ;-D
I believe most of the furniture is original to the house, although some things had to be brought in. For example, all the chinaware except a few teacups were period reproductions since the originals were lost.

Nice detail in the picture.
Very ornate dishes. Is all of the furniture original to his house?

Nice shot, do you know who that is in the painting on the wall?
There were a number of potraits in the dining room; this one is probably one of his daughters or daughter-in-laws.
