The Issac and Olivia Staples Bedroom, also known as the Rosebud Room was originally the children’s nursery as it is connected to the Master Bedroom Suite. The furniture is a mixture of old and really old. The bedstead is wrought iron in a rose design. The armoire is vintage late 1800s and was purchased from a former Minnesota resident who was moving to California.

Original woodwork and doors grace this room. The Queen Anne style of the house is accentuated with many windows and pitched walls. It is a favorite of family and guests alike as it is so light and airy. The color pink was chosen because it matched a doll’s dress that was gifted to me many years ago by my friend Roselyn.

The town site of Mora was donated by the Staples, Bean and Hersey Logging Company. The land on which this house was built was deeded to Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Hersey in 1879 and the house completed in 1898. Through it's history the house has been a duplex, a rooming house for men.....and it is rumored to have housed “Ladies of the Night”.
