" We are in the main so -- the main parlor now Sonya when you started. You've had a mess because this is totally vandalized right."

" It was indeed the windows were all broken out there was debris covering the floors on all of that that the columns here. The pilasters the capitals people had tried to remove some and so some of them were completely gone and other horns were half crushed it was really depressing very daunting from the point every -- reconstruction."

" I mean this is all plaster work right. How did you accomplish shows. It was a combination of techniques to include silicone glues as well as actually just crafting details out of three minute plaster room and so took several months actually to get around the room and him. And then the decor is always the big payoff how did you decide to paint it pink."

" The inspiration was this chair over here that wasn't -- piece of furniture that was original to the house can that was indeed where everything developed so."

" The furnishings that even though the house was vandalized in the house was locked up for half a century the furnishings that we're looking at our original house. Many there when the vandalism started. My grandparents did move some pieces into their personal house into the basements in the restored there so a rug this size in a basement."

" This one was rolled up in storage for fifty years to soak -- the sun and it's just really an inspirational piece."

" Tell us about some of the stuff in the room -- I mean. What do you cause I mean when you approach a room like this and decide to set up. You know tables and chairs in one corner and this right in the middle what are these pieces."

" Always these saudis fainting sofas or she lounge sounds. Really in the room overall we just look for a nice flow and -- also functional -- but yet sparsely decorated enough so that. The room still has nice open feeling and one can really enjoy the architectural details of the house. But these were reupholster it out but at the same kind of politician and -- were able to keep the original bouillon fringe oh so the fringe is original -- through the pieces yes it is indeed."

" Again this is a reception room so you want to keep it sparse enough that you can have. Fifty people or more exactly standing around. At a party and Simpson. Now is this the ancestor that this is this is my great great grandfather WD Sloane. Who built the house with his wife Emily Vanderbilt Sloane. And that's Emily in the portrait across the salon yes and then other furnishings like the chair below it and that table and chairs here what style is that Sonya."

" Well these are this as a French set again we had to reupholster it it is original to the house -- as well I'm the chair that you pointed out in this room the idea was to have. This and has the largest concentration of original furnishings and we were really trying to make this room. As intact as we could with original pieces wonderful."

" And yet things like. The fireplace. Had they been destroyed as well like this fireplace was. Probably in over fifty pieces. Including the back. Stone work in the marble work. Surrounds it. Many of the pieces had been broke in and then. Somebody threw them out the window or used them to break windows. It's an ongoing sport is when it rains we go out and we look outside these should have three windows and occasionally we find a piece."

" I noticed you've still got one missing piece or rather one loose piece here and it's somewhat of a mystery piece doesn't belong there you have -- goes but there are other areas. Where. They're still missing and we're hopeful that after after the spring's heavy rains we find those. And through well that's kind of -- the story of concorde is that there are so many missing pieces that you're hopeful slowly they will be found or slowly they'll be returned because for so many years this was place that was kind of a free for all. For kids and vandals or whoever to come and do mischief. It's something we've been very heartened by the return of a few items over time from strangers and friends and we welcome -- back with open arms from from from from from."
