Walking tour stop description: This building, dating from 1832, houses the Merchant's House Museum, a time capsule museum that has been restored to preserve its authenticity as a mid-19th century household. In the front parlor, Binkowski notes, there is a very rare and unique Nunns and Fischer piano, the distinctive and unusual result of a short-lived collaboration between the two firms.
