Mountain View Center "Christmas Past Open House" was held today.
The historic Fishburn Mansion was filled with festive traditions, hosted by PLAY Roanoke, and City of Roanoke, Virginia-Government. Of particular interest to me were the beveled glass windows, grand staircase, moldings, door knobs, light fixtures, and other architectural details.
Enjoy the tour!
"Tucked away in Roanoke's historic Mountain View neighborhood sits the Fishburn Mansion, known today as the Mountain View Recreation Center. The 42 room Georgian-Revival mansion was built in 1907 by Junius B Fishburn, a prominent publisher, banker, entrepreneur, and philanthropist.
Yes, you read correctly....... 42 rooms.......
The Fishburn family lived here until 1955, and then, in his passing, he donated it to the city Parks and Recreation.
