James T. Lewis Mansion, 1854 Italianate in Columbus, Wisconsin

via venue website

I was disappointed with the minimal interior pictures on the listing, so I searched the Internet to find more and came upon the wedding venue website and the Facebook page which had a few more images, as well as a video interview with the current owner. I wish there were more to see. Maybe the rest of the house is not finished being renovated? Still, it's always nice to see what the houses look like on the inside. The owners have clearly done a lot of work on the outside, including a new paint job of the exterior, which you can see in their on their Facebook page in their photos (link below).
