The 20'x13' gymnasium stage is now the Master Bedroom.
It boasts tiger eye maple flooring... the original stage flooring from 1964... which was restored in 2019 as part of the renovations.
In the '60's. tiger maple was considered the poor-man's hardwood. Today it is sought after as an exotic alternative to more traditional hardwoods.
It is absolutely beautiful.
The king size bed with wicker & padded headboard, and matching bedside tables, were handmade in Indonesia.
This photo gives you a sense of how big the master bedroom truly is.
The custom built-in wall unit by Corell Custom Cabinetry, with touch-open drawers, holds a 55" flat screen above a 78" electric fireplace by Dimplex.
Wall unit with fireplace cost $10,000 in 2019.
Double-door closets were added to both sides of the bedroom, each closet measuring 10' long, and both with tiger eye maple flooring.
Together with the built-in dresser/wall unit, they provide more than ample wardrobe space... but wait, there's more to see later!!
The spacious laundry area is within a wonderful vestibule that connects the main living area to the master bedroom & ensuite.
The vestibule originally was the stage anteroom and a small school kitchen where hotdogs and soup were prepared for the students.
Tons of cupboards, counter space and a large stainless laundry sink are along one wall.
The opposite wall features the Old Volks Coffee Bar with its separate bar sink...close to the kitchen...and close to the bedroom for hot chocolate at bedtime. There are more photos of the Coffee Bar in the Main Loft section.
There's a lot to see in the Old Volks Home. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about us.
