Went to the Shaw estate in St. Louis, Missouri today and it was decorated for a victorian Christmas celebration as it would have been in the 1870’s-1880’s. Complete with stuffed wood ducks and pheasant. Pictures are of the parlor, dining and breakfast room, on this windy day in St. Louis (Click to expand view and enlarge):

Steve, is this on the grounds of the botanical garden? Otherwise, where is this located? I think my wife and mother-in-law would really enjoy seeing this. Thanks….Chris
Yes it is, unfortunately, Jan 1 was the last day for the Christmas decorations display. Regards, Steve
