The Victorian Parlor was the former Town Manager’s Office and Conference Room. It is adorned with antique furnishings which once decorated the rooms of local mansions. Some of the items on permanent display in the room are a five foot mirror with fabulous carvings and gold trim, which came from the Hills Mansion, a velvet window seat donated by Mr. and Mrs. John Coolidge which came down through the Usher family to Maude Pierce Usher the mother of Mrs. Coolidge (circa 1800), and a huge round dining room table from Henry Trumbull’s Mansion, just to name a few. The theme accurately depicts Plainville life as it was in the 19th century.
