The Rahr West Art Museum This structure was built for Joseph Vilas (a local politician) in the late 1800s. The 13-room house was designed by George Ferry and Alfred Clas and it costed $35,000 (they also designed the Pabst Mansion in Milwaukee). The widow of Reinhardt Rahr, who purchased the home in 1910, donated it to the city of Manitowoc in 1941 to use as an art museum. Queen Anne Style Architecture This style of architecture typically includes a sweep of steps leading to a carved stone door-case; rows of painted sash windows in boxes set flush with the brickwork; stone quoins emphasizing corners; a central triangular pediment set against a hipped roof with dormers; typically box-like "double pile" plans, two rooms deep. Design based on Rahr West Front by Susan Murtaugh (CC BY-ND 2.0). Needlepoint by Pepita Pepita Needlepoint printed needlepoint canvas is fun for every level of stitcher, from beginner through advanced. No need to follow complicated charts - the design is printed in full color, right on the canvas. The 100% cotton canvas is durable, easy on the hands, and stitches up quickly at 13 threads per inch. Many canvases come with full-color charts and intructions at no additional cost. Thread Not Included This product includes the canvas only. Thread is not included. Please purchase separately. I recommend DMC Pearl Cotton #3. You will also get excellent results with tapestry wool or embroidery floss.
