Visions of Grandeur
Gerald bought the first and second floors, united by a stairway when the house was converted to apartments in the 1980s. “My first level is the original parlor, so that’s why the moldings are so ornate,” he explains. High ceilings and 6-foot-tall windows add to the sense of elegance. “It’s spectacular to have that kind of height and abundance of natural light,” he says.
