I am completely obsessed with the woodwork in this 1892 house

Let us talk about this 1892 Queen Anne in Canton, Ohio. It was built by George Cook, who ran a plow company, and it has over 5,500 square feet of some of the most ridiculous woodwork you will ever see. It was used as an office for a while, but it still has all its original soul.

Out front

The red paint on the brick is a bold choice, but look at that massive archway on the second level and the green trim on the porch.

Source

From the side, you can see how deep the house actually goes. The brickwork is massive.

The front hall

You open the double doors and immediately hit this stained glass setup. Look at the parquet floors too.

Source

Turn around and the woodwork just takes over. The staircase is all original bird’s-eye maple.

Main floor parlors

Off the foyer, the front parlor has a fireplace with green tile and a carved wood mantel.

Source

Massive pocket doors slide open to connect the formal rooms.

Source

Here is another fireplace room. The sheer scale of the window trim is wild.

Source

Dining room and study

The dining room has a curved bay window and a beautiful border pattern on the floor.

Source

Every single room down here has these thick wood baseboards and high ceilings.

The dream pantry

Okay, this butler’s pantry is stupidly clever. Look at the built-in storage latches and the wood grain on those cabinets.

The kitchen

The kitchen is huge. It has a checkerboard floor and feels a bit commercial right now, but there is so much space to work with.

Source

There is a large island in the center and plenty of white cabinets.

Source

There is also a simple half bath on the main floor with classic beadboard on the walls.

Source

Up the stairs

Heading up the main stairs, you look up and see a massive stained glass skylight built right into the ceiling curve.

Source

The upper landing is so wide it feels like a room of its own, complete with a balcony rail looking down.

Source

Bedrooms and offices

Some of the bedrooms are set up as offices right now, like this blue room with wood floors.

Source

The solid wood doors upstairs are just as impressive as the ones downstairs.

Source

Here is another bedroom space painted green. The natural light up here is great.

Source

This bedroom has its own brick fireplace with a detailed mirror mantel.

Source

Upstairs bathrooms

This bathroom is incredibly cool. It has a clawfoot tub with a custom wood top edge and subway tile.

Source

Another full bath upstairs has a built-in tub area and stained glass windows.

Source

Even the upper hallways have built-in wooden drawers built straight into the walls.

Source

The third floor

The stairs keep going up to the third level.

Source

Up here, the rooms have cool sloped ceilings and arched windows.

Source

This room on the third floor has a patterned rug over the old wood floors.

Source

Then you walk into this massive, unfinished attic space with exposed wood pillars. It is absolutely huge.

Source

You could do so much with this space. The raw wood floors have so much character.

Source

Outside

Because of the office zoning, the back of the house has a paved parking lot, but the brick structure is still impressive.

Source

There is also a side driveway with a brick portico to pull under.

Source

Looking at the roof from above, you can see all the different gables and chimneys that make this Queen Anne so unique.
