Cindy Olsen discusses conservation work recently done to the house’s 1872 Steinway grand piano, and the unusual circumstances involved in the preservation of a musical instrument. Pianist Jeremy Roth accompanies her comments with Bach’s “Prelude in C Major.”
Anna Ramsey's didn't like the winter in St. Paul. She wrote this to her husband,
". . . Oh, Alex, could thee be here and know how we suffer with cold thee would never want to winter again in St. P[aul]."
At a Glance
