This room is decorated in an eclectice Victorian style and appears much as it might have looked when Mrs. Neill lived in the home in the 1870s and 1880s. The front parlor was often the most elegant room in the home and is where Mrs. Neill received visitors. Its use would have been very different at other moments in our site history, when the house served as the first Texas State School for the Blind (1857-1858) and as a Federal War Hospital (1865-1867).
