Dr. Thomas Kerr commissioned the house in 1897. Today the museum showcases a middle-class Victorian family home at the turn of the 20th century. Visitors are able to tour the first and second floors, including Dr. Kerr's medical office as well as the basement. An accurate depiction of middle-class life between 1890 and 1910, the interior of the home is both beautiful and warm, giving visitors a tangible connection to life over 100 years ago.
