Back  County Lines Cover   "Their research into the history of The Woods led this design team on an exciting adventure and the results of it make the back stairs a most unusual part to the house tour."

 "We were also taken with the treatment of the Back Stair, by the team of designer Eileen Devine and restoration architect Maurice E. Weintraub. Their clever work in a cramped, dark and airless back stairway may have been the historically-significant hit of the entire Show House. We left in awe."

Card from Bob Hammond
 "Your staircase is without a doubt the most creative use of the space imaginable. How appropriate and accurate to the design of the house! Congratulations!"

                              - Bob Hammond, Baker Knapp & Tubbs

"The small backstairs space has become a miniature museum at the hands of the Wayne architect [Maurice E. Weintraub] and Devon designer [Eileen Devine]. It recaptures the flavor of old Paoli, before the advent of St. Norbert's Church, housing developments and the shopping centers lining Lancaster Pike."
