A Tour of the House
Every room has a story. Use the QR codes placed around the house, or browse the tour here — whichever way you wander, each page tells you what you're looking at and what it has seen.
How the QR codes work
Point your phone's camera at any QR code in the house. A link will appear — tap it to open that room's page on this website. No app needed; your phone's built-in camera is enough. If you'd rather not use your phone, the printable tour guide covers the same ground.
