Main Floor Layout

The main (second) floor of the Reddick Mansion was used by the Reddick Family as the main entry floor for family guests and visiting dignitaries. It was, and still is, reached by a front set of stone steps on the south, or front, side of the mansion.

This floor was designed to have five primary rooms, two to the west of the main hallway (running north-south) and three to the east of the hallway. Each of these primary rooms had its own large fireplace. The northwest corner of the floor was composed of three small rooms and a back-stair hallway. A schematic drawing of the original layout can be seen just below.

Room Restoration

An examination and resulting report were completed by July 19, 1978. That report to the recently organized association board listed twenty-nine observations that would assist the association in making decisions that would guide it in its efforts to fulfill its stated mission.

As one example of the room-by-room restoration efforts of the association, consider the recommendations outlined in the Sprague report and the subsequent goal established by the association's governing board to create a period room in the southeast parlor on the main floor of the mansion. "This would not necessarily be a recreation of the Reddick's parlor but one appropriate to the house and time and the Reddick's tastes in furnishings."
